OMG! I Hit the Jackpot today! 7 Pipes and Tools

[nsfisher]

I recieved a phonecall this afternoon from a Lady who said she seen my add on Kijiji about Pipe Collecting. I placed this add months ago and was very surprised to recieve this call after so long a time. Anyway, she said she found some old pipes in her house that had been there for years and would I be interested in buying them. I took the 30 minute drive to her house and was very glad I did. 4 Dremils, 2 reamers, a solid sterling silver tamper,and 7 pipes. Pipes are as follows:
Peterson's Kapruf Repub of Ireland

The Briar Workshop 5SPCS Designers Pipemakers Florida

English Selected Straight Grain London 124

Bastia G.L 205

1 pipe with a broken bit

2 in one case, Loewe & CO. London 58 Haymarket.

I got it all for $50.00. The Loewes are 250.00 each new, BTW, I checked and the black spot isn't a burn out.

I've seen the Kapruf come through on eBay.
Here's one right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIPE-PETERSONS-KAPRUF-VERY-LIGHT-/220958996176?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33722eb6d0#ht_2133wt_1347
I recall seeing a Bulldog 80s, unsmoked, go for around $70.

Most of the estates, especially post republic era go in the $30's.
You can go to eBay, click "advanced search", then make sure to check the box to "include completed listings" and click "worldwide". There's about a dozen. Or you can try to click on this link and see if it works.
And a very, very, very nice score mate !

Hell of a score brother

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

Very nice haul! They looke like they'll be great pipes and aside from the oxidation, the stems look like they're in good shape as well.

 

[batdemon]

Way to go nsfisher! :clap:

 

[jameral]

Great score, my friend! Would have been worth it for the Loewes pipes alone...the rest is just gravy!
