Question about my Savinelli 130th Anniversary pipe

[w1nd0wl1cker]

Hi guys! It has been a while since I've been on here. I haven't forgot about you, just working alot and going to college takes up the majority of my time. I have been thinking about selling my Savinelli 130th Anniversary pipe that I won from the pipe show a while back. Don't worry I am still smoking a pipe. I recently came into a situation that I really need the money. Anyway, I have been looking all over and can only find info about the 135th Anniversary pipe. I see that there is a 130th Anni pipe on ebay, but I would like to know more about the one I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated (value, color etc)!

I like that pipe. Have you even smoked it? Because it looks like you didnt

 

[w1nd0wl1cker]

Thank you an no I haven't smoked out of it, it's still brand new.

How much are you selling it for?

Would love to have it, but alas, I'm broke at the moment.

I feel you there mark. You arent the only one

Don't really know how much to sell it for monster. I'm having a hard time finding anything out about the pipe other than there isn't alot of them.

looks about right, fly

I saw that one too fly, but I'm not sure that I'm going to price it as low as Mars. I say that because I have quite a few rusticated pipes and know that alot of times they rusticate pipes to hide flaws. I found the same pipe as mine on ebay just in a different stain and it says that 2 sold for $289. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savinelli-130th-Anniversary-Silver-Natural-Pipe-Stand-/390164499060?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ad79dca74

I just would like to know a little more about the pipe before offloading it. The nice part about it is I have nothing invested in the pipe, but will be sad to see it go.

Thanks fly, need all the luck I can get.

Once you and me find out more about the pipe maybe we can set something up?

Tinderbox has a rusticated one for $230.

An italian store has some as well (click here) for EUR 179 and EUR 225 depending on the color. I also found a German store selling a sandblast for EUR 190.
I also found an article (in Italian) indicating it was released in 4 colors: Natural, Red, Brown and rusticated. But isn't yours black ?

I found one site claiming it was limited to 580 of each color, but that sounds like a weird number to me. I'll keep digging some more.
Interesting story. But it's out of my range if you're looking for a buyer. Hope it was helpful though.

You guys are awesome and I appreciate all the help! At first I thought the pipe was Red because of the inside of the bowl is stained a dark red, but after seeing that pic in the link Mick posted I have to say its not red and maybe it is black. Let me know if you do find out anything else. Monster, let me know if you do want to set something up.
