I have a few un-smoked pipes, but I think this is my oldest. Is there anything unique or interesting about it?

My Oldest Un-smoked pipe: a Karl Erik, Circa 1990

Nothing interesting other than I had a few other pipes that had become regular smokers, and I enjoyed the smaller bowls in general.
I also have a W.O. Larsen from the same time that I did smoke, so that probably also contributed.
It looks like a traditional Karl Erik freehand. Nothing special about it as it looks similar to many of his other freehands. It's only special if it has special meaning for you. Nice looking pipe, and I'm sure it will be a great smoker if you ever smoke it.
Here's some info on Karl Erik if you're unfamiliar with him.

Other than it being an early purchase, it has no sentiment. I am mulling selling a few things that I don't smoke, or have never smoked. I don't need a collection, and I have 6 or 8 that I do wish to keep and smoke.It looks like a traditional Karl Erik freehand.

Nothing wrong with selling off unsmoked or rarely smoked pipes. I'm in the process of selling off several of mine that I just don't smoke that often. If you find the right buyer looking for an older Danish pipe, or someone that is a Karl Erik fan, you might sell it for a decent chunk of money.
I'm going to post a few things here later today. Does a price have to be set, or can people simply make offers via PM? How are you selling yours?
I just saw this: The sale price must be clearly listed for each item, including lots. A lot is defined as a group of tins, for one price. (ie: Lot 6 - 10 tins of Dunhill MM965 - $100). No offers only, silent auctions, etc.
That will be tough with one of the things I want to sell as it's rare and I don't really know how much it might be worth.
There are guidelines listed in the pipes for sale category, so read those to see the requirements. I list my pipes on ebay currently.
Ebay for pipes is a good idea. I have some tobacco I'd like to post, so the forum here is the way to go from what I've seen. No fees, for instance.
A pipe from the 1990’s would be one of my later pipes. The bulk of my pile dates between the 1880’s and the 1950’s. The exceptions are artisan made pipes and commissions.
My oldest unsmoked pipes date to 1907.
I was just thinking of grabbing an Erik. There’s a beaut on reborn for not so much. But I work in Japan for Yen which is like working for dog biscuits at this point.
