The value of pipe #605 is 12 points.

As usual, Judd Perlson was at the 2005 Chicago Pipe Show. This year he had saved three pipes for me, two Apple the pipe and a THE SMOKE. They were all in pretty rough shape, but I didn't want to disappoint him - he has been so wonderful to me over the years. So I noticed their deficiencies as collectibles and that they were duplicates but bought them anyway. This one will go to the Pipes for Sale. I gave this one to Tony Thomas who some while back (when he had given me an Early box for an Ebony Dublin the pipe) mentioned that all he needed to complete his collection of THE SMOKEs was a Yellow Village.
