This thread will serve as a catchall for various miscellanies that grab my eye.
Any additional interesting auctions that you may point out are heartily welcomed as well.
First up,
check this early 30's Dunhill catalog,
sold for $693!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Edward-VIII-...p2047675.l2557
It is a circa 1930's abridged catalog, John Loring notes:
"The lack of both Root finished pipes and the Vernon Dunhill "click" fitting place this no later than the early 1930's and while similar in style and layout to the late 1920's catalogs, the Gothic "Dunhill" suggests that it is a bit later."

Now,
here's a flipper that has recently caught my eye, and my ire.
Noticed a nice Herbaugh rhodesian with an unusual flanged top and I liked it very much.
I offered the seller a respectable $250 which was turned down.

The seller bought that pipe only a couple of weeks earlier from Cooper's Ark for a cool $158,
dammit!
I wish I would have been around for that auction...

The same seller also had a 1987 Ashton,
a pipe which may have problems because it seems as if the first buyer may have returned it:

The second buyer
was the flipper:

And the pipe was recently sold again,
this time for $196...

A new one on me is this Colt Firearms bakelite piperack,
apparently they are highly sought after!

I actually bid on this, but didn't go high enough.
I love all the old Froth Blower stuff!
These little booklets rarely pop up.

An old Capstan Medium cutter-top sold for a very reasonable price,
it was fine cut though, most likely intended to be for roll-yer-own ciggies.

There was a time when I would've bought this pipe,
but nowadays I've slowed down and I'm just happy to add another interesting variant to my list of British sandblast names,
the Abdulla SHARK SKIN.
