Rod Margherio offered this almost perfect specimen on eBay. I was lucky to win it because the competition was fierce. It takes its place in the pantheon of pipes known as my collection and the previous example now joins the Pipes for Trade. When George Burns gave me a NIB example of this shape/color, I placed this one on the Pipes for Trade page too. When I began "thinning the herd," Larry Buys jumped for this one.
