DESCRIPTION

Peterson Donegal Rocky tobacco pipe.

9BC

straight stem. pipe measures 5" bowl to tip. Bowl has some cracks in it, however this is still very solid, I can not bend, break, or crack it any further. Unaware of this pipes age, i do not specialize in it.



Pipe has stamped STERLING SILVER ring at the stem and the bowl.

Vintage. Being sold as an antique collectible

A great old piece to add to a collection

Hope springs eternal!!

"Bowl has some cracks in it, however this is still very solid, I can not bend, break, or crack it any further. "

Though $11.89 for a used stem might be worth it!

I see the problem: the seller's from east Michigan. Those guys aren't to bright over there. (just kidding, bosun!)
Obviously the seller doesn't know his pipes very well. If he realized he had a pre-republic Pete, he would have started the bidding at $100.

A little cigar ash mud will fix 'er right up! :lol:

After all the discussion about the Franken pipe, all this one needs is some roofing tin and a couple of pop rivets and it will be as good as new!

Just sand the rim down past the cracks and she'll be good to go.

When I looked at this pipe on fleabay I instantly knew you would say something like that Kyle, and yes, it could be repaired actually, one just has to keep in mind it is to be smoked after being repaired so the stages to go through would have to be carefully approached, such a pipe would be fun to try to repair if nothing else.

:evil: I will ignore that comment...just this one time. At least we are smart enough to have Paul's Pipe Shop over here on this side of the mitten. :lol:

Don't mind me. It's my envy that breeds resentment.
