Would you spend $11,000.00 for this,,,

Psychotherapy is much cheaper and you will get more out of it.

Philanthropy is another way to completely blow your extra cash and actually help others

while making a real and significant difference in the world around you.
I wish more people with disposable incomes would focus on making the world a better place

rather than filling their voids with more unnecessary objects.
... end of rant!

This is an Upshall 'E' that sold for $300-$350 in the 1980s. It's not an exceptional E (rather ordinary actually) but it DOES have a custom made box!
This is like asking if you would pay the price of a Bugatti for a Lexus.

Absolutely not. I don't care if it's a Nordh, or an Upshall. To me there is not a pipe in the world that is worth that kind of money. In fact, regardless of age of the briar or notariety of carver, I personally do not believe any pipe existing in this world is worth more than about 1500. max ... to me anyway. I think anything more is pretty much all about ego and greed.
