I don't have a Micoli,

but I've always been fascinated with his work because I'm drawn to such the craggy textures,

almost threw a bid in on this one,

I certainly wasn't expecting it to go for such a low price!
Estate Pipe Rusticated No Brand
Proof yet again that wise eyes score cheap treats!

:P

I thought the stem may have been a replacement,

but this estate looks like it has a similar stem...

Dammit!

I should have bid on that thang!

Impressive deal. It looks like a great pipe. I'm not much on the super rusticated texture, but I like rustication or semi-rustication in general. There's a lot of workmanship in this pipe, and it went for a cob price. The seller doesn't always win on ebay. It seems the winning bid is often too high or too low.

They are good smoking pipes I have one, not that appealing to ones senses as others I have but I also got it at a fair price. When playing in the Devil's Playground ( eBay ) one can find a good value, much is an uninformed seller, poor photos, incredibly poor description and simply plain dumb luck, all of these and a few others! ;).

Maybe not quite in the same deal bracket, but I was amused to see a pipe listed as:
"VINTAGE ANTIQUE SNELL KS 515 LARGE SIZE"
Of course it was a an Sav Antique Shell KS 515. The incomplete and improper listed made it practically invisible. It went for $12.50.
I'm not sure what those are really worth, but if I hadn't blown through my PAD budget for May already I would have gone as high as $20.00 . Yep, I'm pretty cheap.
