Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

Coopersark auctions listing - he has some nice multiple pipe auctions that may keep the average cost of each pipe down a bit...

[IHT]

30 "aged" McClellands tins for sale, all for a starting bid of $300.

5 Ashton Pebblecut tins - old Ashton, from '01, made by McClellands.

4 Ashton Black Dog (?) tins - same as above, MC version. for some reason, the photo shows Black Parrot, and i've never heard of Ashton Black Dog before??

I just won an incredible deal......two very old tins of Mr. Alfred's Own, the old gold tins with red lettering, blended in the old Dunhill shop.
Got TWO tins for $137! These sell for $150 each!

Mr.C and I are splitting these. He was watching the auction and almost had a heart attack! I out sniped the snipers by placing a bid manually with 3 seconds left...............LOL!!!

[IHT]

nice job.

now all i need to do is photoshop you and joe together as a sniper team. joe will be the spotter, you're the trigger man.

i just put a bid on a pipe... estervals pipe haus, so i'm sure it'll end up going for a couple hundred, but it's purty.

check out this 8 drawer pipe chest.

13 old pipe lighters by beattie jet

while i personally will never bid on another thing from "Judd's", here's a NEW OLD BOY, gold w/ pipe shapes style. 1d 18hrs left, $53.50 is the bid, says $7.50 for shipping, but they'll only pay $2.

an odd lighter - Kirin Beer (japanese) IM Corona lighter. kinda cool looking, small and flat.

ugh, again, as much as i hate Judd's practices... lot of 5 lighters, 1's a corona...

I won this unsmoked Lane, Ltd. for only $15 today & I'm looking forward to seeing the marbled stem in person. Lately I have become attracted to pipes with distinctive stems



My 2nd for the day is an estate Bari Viking that looks to need a good stem polishing... I hope to learn a little about pipe refurbishing & have a nice smoker by the time I'm finished with it.

[IHT]

i love the bottom one, that shape is cool, and the size of it is huge. a little cleaning of the stem and it'll be purrrrrty.
