Really ? What are people thinking. If I tell you its rare it must be true , a thousand is a pretty big production number when it comes to pipes.

127 is a Mersenne prime - so a prime number of the form 2^n - 1. There are only 48 known Mersenne primes, so maybe this increases the rarity/value.

The finish is gorgeous and shape is very well done, but it doesn't have the grain to support that price.

Looks clumsy, but I'd pay 50 bucks for it. I'd rather have his other one, and it's only a grand.

I don't think I'll ever understand some of the sellers on eBay that are in a constant dream world with prices. And the real funny thing is that they won't come down an inch and just keep re-listing them, sometimes with higher prices. (as if that'll make it sell LOL!)
At least this ones got a OBO on it.

I could see it going for $350 if a couple of collecors really wanted it and the right guy was auctioning it. I could also see it selling for $150 if Joe Blow put up a crappy, simple auction ( like this guy did).

While I like Petersons well enough (especially some of the older ones), enjoy them & advocate them, that one, IMO, is an example of what Russians call "**** on a shovel" -- allegedly special because of its presentation.

:face:

I tend to agree with Yak on this one. I do like the shape, but if you have to gold-plate something (like the trim on your Caddy or Lexus) that just doesn't work for me. I don't follow Petes closely, but I have not seen this series before. If you absolutely have to smoke something not many others have, here is your opportunity! I wonder what he would settle for? That seller name sure sounds familiar to me (member on PipesMag.com forums?)

The finish on those looks like spar varnish. :shock:

I offered the seller $1,000.00 but he won't ship to South Africa. That will teach him a lesson!!!

I have a Kinsale that has a finish that looks similar. When I bought it, I figured it was some fancy wax and would lose its luster. It seems to be enduring, so it may be some kind of varnish.

I would assume it's a very thin coat of Shellac and would hope that Peterson wouldn't use a Varnish or Lacquer on any of there pipes.
