When I first saw this pipe I could only imagine how beautiful it would look in my collection. I thought for sure it would price itself right out of my possession, but to my surprise it ended up in my collection after all!

IIRC.....Weren't the Harcourt Preben Holm's (and some Ben Wade's) commissioned by Dunhill to be provided to their Principal Dealers during the "Danish Craze" of the 1980's?? Might be wrong on the decade!!! FTRPLT
Very cool! I have been wanting to find a Preben Holm to add to my rotation, just waiting to find the right one, at the right time. Hope you enjoy yours!

During my freehand phase I owned a greal many Harcourts, Wades and Mike Kabik's. Almost all were great smokers but as I began to smoke flakes a large bowl capacity began to be a liability. Freehands were'nt popular when I collected them and I was able to buy many for very low prices. By the time I sold them they had once again gained poularity and all sold for a good if not great price. The market for freehands really does fluctuate a great deal. It's possible yours would go for double the price on another day at another time...
