I have seen some collectible pipes raise large sums... I believe a Bo Nordh nautilus brought twice this amount a few years back iirc. Seems a lot to pay for a (beautiful) pipe, but not so much in terms of a collectible piece of history. I can't imagine having anything of this calibre sitting around in a cabinet... On the one hand it loses value considerably if you smoke it, but it is also a crime if you don't.

Peter you are wright Bo Nordh Nautilus went for $20000.00 and some change and since he is gone they are increasing in value.

wow a royal achievement I would love to just see that in person. I just reently acquired a lane era charatan executive walrus by jorge but for a song and a dance

Emjaysmash · 02-21-2011, 07:17 AM

Just little bit out of my budget.

02-21-2011, 07:23 AM

Holy Crap!

Mister Moo · 02-21-2011, 07:46 AM

Big night last night - couple of Kawoodies 12" long went at $350-$400/ea. Hate I missed that Charatan.

TheatyHannington · 02-21-2011, 09:12 AM

I agree with the WOW portion. Wonder if the "lucky" buyer will actually smoke it. Be a shame if they didn't. Unless they put a sign up above it, "C'est une pipe."

kelmac07 · 02-21-2011, 11:35 AM

$ 6,000 for a pipe??? WOW is right.
