[QUOTE="Tennessee Dave, post: 556574, member: 177"] Usually the RW pipes I have seen are graded 55, 77. 99 etc. I do know that that a lot of those old freehands were graded differently. The pipe I own is a Galleon grade 55 (solidly middle scale). The early Wiley freehands were BIG. I love the one I have as it smokes beautifully. I am also sentimentally attached as it was my first good pipe. It's still in my rotation after all these years and I can assure you it would not be there if it didn't smoke well. He was a prolific pipe maker and made some great pipes. I have heard of some complaints with stems and tenons being loose but if they were estates it could very well be who owned and took care of them. I paid About $125 years ago new. Smokingpipes.com has new Wiley's from $162 to $350. Unless that pipe is one that really appeals to you and is an estate I would buy a new one if I really wanted a Wiley. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I do know that estate pipe prices seem to be crazy right now. [/QUOTE]
