So did you try to talk them down a little just to make it look good ? LOL

Agreed, always good to haggle just to keep yourself & the seller on his toes.

I have that exact pipe in the last photo in post #16, a straight stem Williard with a yellow dot.

It is a small bowled pipe and the perfect size for one flake of Escudo or PS Luxury Bullseye Flake. Almost like it was made for that.

I picked mine up when the Memphis flea market came to town for a whopping $10 and it is a fine smoker. You got yours way cheaper than that.
I cut the stinger off mine with a hacksaw because it was caked up so bad that the draw was extremely tight. Whatever it was had hardened in there and no matter how much vodka I soaked it in it would not come out.

That is a great haul man congrats.

Good for you, Alan. I've seen pipe racks go for what you paid for the lot. Look who is the great hunter now.

Sweet catch Alan.
