HOLY CRAP BATMAN! What did the find set you back?

PhilosoPiper

@PappyJoe, $600.00.

The wife wasn't entirely thrilled about having spent that amount... I have given many assurances that I can make that back easy-peasy.

When I saw the name Dunhill pop-up pipe after pipe my jaw dropped. Excellent find - congrats.

Is it a good thing that TPL discussions have recently been causing me to covet?

Quick, run out and buy a lottery ticket, You may be on a roll. I was going to say that the Pipe Rack was a great find till I aw the list.

PhilosoPiper

Thanks guys!

@woodsman I thought the exact same thing! 

I don't know if this is appropriate or not but if any of you are interested in any of the pipes above I am looking to offload 6 of them, just shoot me a PM if at all interested.

Wow, excellent haul @PhilosoPiper ! My wife would be furious with me if I spent that much on pipes at one go, but for Dunhills? That would be hard to resist.

@Philosopiper, Congrats, great find,to rich for my blood, but if your able,go for it!

@PhilosoPiper Your wife will probably sing a different tune when you sell those six pipes for what's sure to be a handsome profit.

xDutchx

@PhilosoPiper, if you sell each of the six for $100 each, you will end up scoring the rack for all your trouble, and your wife will be happy to hear she got her $600 back! :^)

PhilosoPiper

Thanks guys! I actually kept the Barling, and the after market silver banded Dunhill Root, and the rack.

@ghostsofpompeii & @xDutchx, she went with me up to my local B&M on Friday evening and spent 4 hours with me up there While the guys who worked there (one of which who is a Dunhill expert and has an outrageous collection of unique Dunhills) explained to her the value of each pipe. She was sufficiently satisfied with all that she heard.

I've sold 2 already and am over 60% of the way to making the money back.

@PhilosoPiper You should post those pictures on the Daily Briar Photoshoot page. I feel like I'm hogging up the page and wanted several others to post their pictures there as well. And it's hard to top a photoshoot like yours featuring all those Dunhills.
