Some New Finds: Saseini, Edward's and Viking

[bouwser]

Picked up a couple of pipes today while "picking" at the local Antique store. I don't think I did too badly.
The Saseini is a one dot. It says Specially Selected with fish logo followed by the patent no. 150221/20. The shape number is 5LG From my research I think it's from the 1919-24 era. Looks pretty clean for being that old. The rim is a bit dark but I think I can put some elbow grease into that. This thing is quite light. Great grain as well.

The Edward's had a nice military mount and is in pretty decent condition. There are a few fills in the bowl.

The Viking is in pretty good condition. I obtained some Viking bowls recently so I need the stem. Should be a decent clean up.

Be very careful cleaning up that Sasieni, it's a valuable pipe.

Nice snags Bouwser! That one dot is a great find and will garner interest here.

<p>I just looked up one dots on eBay for an idea of what they are worth. I had no idea how valuable it was.

Very nice find on that Sasieni! Recently went to a couple local antique shops on the hunt for pipes - best I found was a Sasieni Claret.

I’m tempted to send that Sasieni off for restoration. Any recommendations?

I just saw the photos of dmc's Sasieni, and oh, Lordy, is that gorgeous.

Absolutely. Beautiful Sasieni and restoration.
Edwards pipes are very solid, underappreciated, and a great value. Virtually always lightweight Algerian briar. There are a lot of ugly 70s Edwards Danish freehands out there though. Creative freedom run amok.
