Sasieni Eight Dot - $10 Buy?

[ashdigger]

I grabbed this eight dot for $10. The question is simple. Is this a Frankenpipe or a real eight dot. Figured I couldn’t go wrong for $10 + $5 Shipping so $15 all in.

The nomenclature is faded and pipe was smoked hard and put away wet.

All it says is Sasieni (cursive)
“Cromer”
London Made

Well, it's possible. I did get a Dunhill billiard for $20 not too long ago ?

I think all eight dots were florid script and patent number pipes, but I could be wrong.

To me both the bit and the stummel looks authentic. I would have bought the same.

 

[ChuckMijo]

Looks legit. Seems everything lines up.

Ash, I would say it looks like the real deal to me. Re. the Patent number, you can see there was no room for it on the small panel on the bottom of the pipe. Note the airway diameter on the tenon, the reason it is the size it is is to accept the stinger (the Patent). Not unusual to see older Sasieni pipes without the hardware.

I don’t know shit about Sasienis, but at $15, I’d say it was a pretty safe gamble. ?

Well for 15$ you can’t go wrong. Any Sasieni that you grab for that price is a definite win. ?️

I just lost a Sasieni Dublin in the last 15 seconds ?. It went for $22.00.

Now I feel ripped off. Lol

Are you sure it wasn't you? I know you are quick like a house on fire ??

 

[PipeIT]

I’m assuming we’re talking EBay? If it’s a reputable seller, you should be good, it looks nice!

Shhhhh, you mean that Dunhull that made me cry.... LOL ?

Helluva Grab!.............. That one should smoke like a dream.
Sasienis are a bit weird with me, in that I don't care at all for their smooth pipes, but those rustics........... well let's just say they hit all the right spots........ Enjoy that one!.......

Yep.?

Your the one who bought that! Well at least it went to a good home. I remember seeing it listed as a "Burl pipe", and got busy with work during the end of the bidding. I knew it was a Sasieni.

Looks legit from my end (obviously I was intending to buy it), but I don't have the expertise to claim anything about its history/origin.

I saw it, crappy pictures and all, and thought it was a four dot with an upside down stem. Imagine my surprise seeing it was an eight dot.

 

[donjgiles]

Killer deal!

 

[ssjones]

Looks like the real deal to me, as Dave points out, the tenon is drilled for the stinger and the stem appears to have the matching flat bottom profile of the shank. Great Ebay Eye!

Florid script, elongated small dots, nomenclature correct. Looks like the real thing. Does it have a patent number?

No patent number. But as noted above, there isn’t room.
