The value of pipe #028 is n/a points.

Dick Alexander read of my quest in Pipes Digest and sold me all five of his pyrolytic graphite pipes. This one resided on the Pipes for Trade page for a long time and, now that I have an un-smoked example for the collection, this one becomes available for sale. It's a good smoker with no damage or cake in the bowl liner. The mouthpiece has a lot of shallow tooth-marks, but no dents (the softy pipe bit you see in the picture has been removed.) The paint has quite a lot of superficial scratching and several dings which do not show in the photo because they are mostly on the face of the bowl. Sal Vitello liked it for his collection anyway and now it's his!
