Title: Old pipe
Post by: Yotehntr on November 28, 2010, 01:01:53 AM
I'm curious if anyone here might know anything about old pipes?  This one got handed down to me years ago... I don't know anything about it except that it's Ivory....that and she ain't got nuttin on but a leaf.   :laf:

Looks to be an Estate pipe "A pipe that was used exclusively in a smoking room" Looks to be well used but the bowl appears to be clean. Off hand I couldn't tell you what it would be worth but it could range anywhere between $200 and $2,500.

There are several websites where you may be able to find a appraiser. In fact as a call turner you might check out some of the pipes and the various materials that they are made from.

Yank out the stem & put an open reed in.  :eyebrow:

Then it'll be worth something to us.  :yoyo:

I'd try a bowl full first just to see if it works of course  :innocentwhistle:.  Then if it doesn't work to your satisfaction it could be rebuilt.   :wink:.  I've watched a few sell at auction but have no idea how to value one :doh2:.
