I picked up a King's Cross the other day myself. Got it at a local antiques shop. Couldn't get him under $15 but I figured it was worth it and picked it up.
Bit had some pretty serious teeth chatter, but I put a rubber bit on it and it's fine. Smokes pretty good.

I'd say it was worth it; should be a good smoker. They look light and good for clenching.

You know, that is something that stood out to me with this one. It is so light that I almost thought it was made from something other than briar. It does say "Imported briar" on it though so I guess it is.
It's a good smoker. At first I wasn't sure because mine has a tapered bowl and I packed it very loosely the first time. I've learned that this pipe likes the baccy to be packed a little tighter than normal.
I'm thinking it would be good for flakes using the air pocket method. I'm going to have to try that out soon with it.
