Okay so I absolutely love this pipe but think the price is a bit steep :evil: .....yet still want to buy the darn thing :twisted: . I already looked on pipephil for info and have searched elsewhere and found a range for them from 39.95 (estate) to 150.00 (new) depending on the pipe. I just love the look of this pipe...mostly the way it looks and clashes with the stem and rustication. This pipe makes me feel like my wife must feel when she is looking at purses :x . Suggestions greatly appreciated :?:

IMHO by the way the bowl and rim looks your going to have a lot of work to bring the pipe back. Its up to you but I don't think its worth more then 40 bucks in that condition een with the box. The bowl is liable to have conditions as it looks like it was never even reamed.

Well more than agreed with every point. The pipe is still sexy though lol.

Take a look at pipeandcigars's estate pipe section. They had a couple of unsmoked AVs in there.
