[QUOTE="Puffer Mark, post: 455744, member: 3593"] From what I see over here, that seems to be the sad case more often than not. I guess the next of kin have no idea about the age or value of pipes, and given the demonisation of smoking in general they are simply cast aside or sold off in estate lots. I have often wondered how many great collectible/valuable pipes were casually tossed into the trash, or (more tantlisingly) are hiding at the bottom of some drawer awaiting discovery. No, matter. I reap the rewards by scouring our local flea market and auction sites and on my budget that is how I have managed to gather up a modest collection of sort of collectibles over the last year or two. Great fun! A yahoo and his pipe are sometimes easily parted. 5$ Punto Oro, anyone? :twisted: Here the saying goes: [i]Die een se dood is die ander se brood[/i] (Literally: One's demise is another's bread; or something like One man's meat is another man's poison or whatever) [i]Ce la vie![/i] [/QUOTE]
