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.

Emjaysmash · 02-21-2011, 07:17 AM

Just little bit out of my budget.

Holy Crap!

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."

Ah man, I was too late and missed the end of the bidding!

hotreds · 02-21-2011, 10:07 AM

I guess if you're filthy rich, who cares? You could buy a decent car for that amount!

kelmac07 · 02-21-2011, 11:35 AM
