Tinder Box Erin System Value?

[MavErik]

I recently stumbled onto a nice Tinder Box Erin System pipe. I found some good resources online detailing the history of this Peterson sub brand made for TB. However, there have been essentially no recent sales that I can find on eBay or other sites giving a value for this obviously limited series. Anyone have thoughts on value as compared to a similar Pete System model?

In my experience, the market value of sub brands are somewhere between 25-40% less than the "branded" pipes. I have handled sub brands of brands like Dunhill, Comoys, etc... not Peterson though. However, I have also monitored numerous sub brands on-line as well to see where they land in terms of market value. Tinder Box had working relationships with many reputable pipe-makers... it's pretty remarkable what they accomplished that way, really. Of course, the goal was to offer pipes from some of the most reputable pipe-makers at a reasonable price.
