Need help locating this pipe stand!!

[cbtriplett]

I am looking for a pipe stand that holds 6 pipes and has a copper/brass airplane (corsair I believe) on top. I found one on Ebay, but lost the bidding war in the last 2 seconds.

This is the PERFECT gift for my husband and I figured who better to ask than you guys?
Thanks for any help and MERRY CHRISTMAS!! (I hope your wives have spent as much time and effort on finding you the perfect gift, too....ugghhhh).

The plane tobacciana stuff is rare and sought after. Competition for it is heavy. You should have bid ridiculously high. I get nothing on the web. Hopefully someone here has one they will part with.

cbtriplett:
Would you please be so kind as to post here the link to the eBay listing for this pipe-stand so that we may all see what it looked like? It may be a long shot, but perhaps the image(s) will prompt someone here on the Forums to let you know where one might be found.

There is nothing better in this world than a caring/loving spouse. Good on ya! I hope you find it. :clap:

I assume you are looking for something like this (does look like a Corsair):

Etsy has some ashtray/stands with an airplane,but I didn't fine any pipe stands.

I think you nailed it jones, but that's more likely than not the one she missed out on, or missed out on again?

That's pretty great. Now I'm going to keep an eye open for one too as I have a pipe buddy who is a retired airline pilot.

Drumming up new bidders is probably not what the nice lady had in mind

 

[phil67]

Well, I doubt that would be a problem for her. She got on this site after probably doing a Google search, asked her question and is on her way. Other than that, I've got to hand it to her for taking the time and doing a search to try and get her husband a gift that she thinks would be perfect for him. Good on her! Other than that, I seriously doubt that her asking the question and exposing, as it were, her quest for this particular pipe stand on this site will have any significant impact on the outcome/price increase for this pipe stand on eBay.

Caring and loving is good, but this lovely lady actually takes an interest in her husband's pipe smoking pastime!
