Hi Folks,

I’m listing several tobacco smoking pipes from personal collection here and over the next couple of weeks. Please check my other listings for great deals on fine briar pipes by Castello, Dunhill, Claudio Cavicchi, James Upshall, Baldo Baldi, Ashton, Mark Tinsky, Ser Jacopo, Rinaldo, Tonino Jacono, Charatan, Moretti and more.

I am thinning out the herd a bit and moving these pieces along to their next lucky owners - my loss is your gain. I am a serial pipe collector and usually buy pipes, hold them for a while before trading or selling them – often either unsmoked or smoked once (I have over 500 pipes at any given time)

***Attention: Please see photos as they are a vital part of the description***

Awaiting its first smoke, the winning bidder here will be quite lucky to catch this truly magnificent piece.

·       I am located in the greater Boston, MetroWest area and am happy to meet up locally that is convenient for me, or I may be ok with you picking up locally at my home. Arrangements must be made before the listing ending.

·       I am not interested and not accepting any trade offers - please don't ask.

·       Items are described accurately, so no returns are accepted unless there has been a gross misrepresentation (there won't be).

·       If an item is used or listed as not new, it is exactly that. There may be slight imperfections, signs of usage or missing original element or packaging. I go out of my way to detail any of this, but by bidding, you acknowledge you understand and accept this point. If you are not ok with used, please DO NOT bid as you will be very disappointed. 

·       It is YOUR responsibility to ensure fit, function and format of what you're buying for compatibility, etc. I will not be held responsible for a buyer not fully understanding what they are purchasing or buyer’s remorse.

·       Please ask all questions before placing a bid or purchasing.

·       Payment is due within 48 hours of auction close, no exceptions. If you cannot comply with this, please do not bid.

·       I ship fast - usually within a day of payment being received – tracking will be provided via eBay once your package is shipped.

·       INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I will not ship internationally - sorry. If you have an eBay account based in another country but have a US shipping address, the international fee charged to me for your account address being outside of the US will be passed on to you or the listing will be cancelled – no exceptions.

·       COMBINED SHIPPING - PLEASE READ: Shipping fees may be combined where possible to reduce costs if multiple items are purchased and paid for together. If your purchases are eligible for combined shipping, here are the guidelines of how it will be handled.

o   Packages MUST be paid for and processed together at the same time - no retrospective shipping combination requests will be honored.

o   Packages must be going to the same shipping address.

o   The first item will be charged the full cost of shipping. Each additional item will incrementally increase the initial shipping fee to offset additional shipping expenses caused from increased weight, size and insurance value of a single package.

o   The eBay shipping portal will only allow me to see the true shipping cost during the shipping label generation process. This is only available once all items being shipped in an order are paid for. As a result, full payment must be made prior to any combined shipping discounts and any monies identified from the final calculation that are deemed payment overage will be REFUNDED to the buyer after the shipping label is created via eBay.

o   IF YOU HAVE A US SHIPPING ADDRESS BUT YOUR EBAY ACCOUNT IS NOT BASED IN THE US, SHIPPING FEES WILL NOT BE COMBINED. THIS IS DONE TO OFFSET THE INTERNATIONAL FINAL VALUE FEE THAT IS PLACED ON THE SELLER BECAUSE THE BUYER HAS A FOREIGN ACCOUNT ADDRESS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THIS, DO NOT BID AND I SUGGEST YOU TAKE IT UP WITH EBAY AS THEY OFFER NO WAY FOR ME TO BLOCK YOUR BID EVEN THOUGH I EXPLICITLY HAVE MY ACCOUNT SETUP TO BLOCK NON-US BIDDERS – SORRY.
