Fred and Marilyn Flesher wrote me an e-mail offering a couple of pipes. I really liked the look of this one and we struck a deal. After much hemming and hawing about whether this shade of Federal Gold is the Tan color, I finally arrived at the conclusion that it is not and, since I have a new-in-box example in the collection, this one goes to the Pipes for Sale page. Nicky Sizemore bought it because it reminded him of a pipe he had long ago.
