Sasieni “4 Dot”

[Pipes505]

I’d be very interested to hear what folks know about the Sasieni line that doesn’t just have four (blue) dots, but also says “4 Dot.” I found surprisingly little about that particular line on Pipedia. Anyone know the dates between which they were made? Were they seconds? Just wondering. It’s one of mine that I know the least about. Thanks in advance for any help!

“4” (as distinct from “four”) Dots are post-transition era Sasienis.
They are less collectible. But does NOT necessarily equate to less smokeable.

I have corporate era Barlings which smoke every bit as good as my family era ones

I agree with OzPiper. They don't get the interest from collectors, but are usually fetch lower prices and their blue dots are really beautiful. Many e-bay sellers don't understand the distinction between Four Dot and 4 Dot and list them incorrectly.

FYI there is a pretty nice rusticated Sasieni 4dot on ebay.de right now.
Not mine.
The seller ships worldwide.
Ive no idea what its worth but the seller takes offers.
Also some on Smokingpipe.eu

Deadman Pipes has had some for sale lately, and they did pretty well.
