TOBACCIANA
VINTAGE Estate PIPE
Maker: Unbranded
Type/Style: Dublin (large)
Materials: Genuine Meerschaum - black leather case
Length: 6 1/4"
Condition: Pipe bowl is Unused - Bit has very minimal wear - tiny chip at base of bowl (please see photo)
Other: The case has some minor soil inside and marks to exterior.  Looks like there may have been a sticker on the leather. Closure is nice.  I don't know if the pipe and the case were originally together.
Weight before packing:  4 oz.
I have always enjoyed the smell of pipe tobacco and I think the variety of styles and materials found in pipes is intriguing.
The image of someone smoking a pipe, from Santa Claus to a scholarly professor, brings me a cozy feeling.
I don’t know much about them, but I am learning more every day.
My son is a metal detectorist and he just found an old clay pipe bowl in one of the holes he dug.
The pipes I have for sale are all purchased at auctions or estate sales in Maryland.
I try to describe them as best as I can, but I’m sure the pipe experts who look at my attempts could offer lots more information.
These are all being sold AS IS, so please look at the photos carefully and ask questions before you bid.
Feel free to make offers or combine items.
Thanks for looking ~ Kath
FINDING TREASURES TO MAKE YOU HAPPY!
WELCOME TO
TREASURES FROM KATH
My goal is to make you happy with your entire eBay experience. As a school principal I used to deal with people’s children.  Now I just deal with their “junk.”  It’s a lot less stress.  I love to treasure hunt at auctions, yard & estate sales, and thrift stores for items that intrigue me and I hope will be a treasure to you.  Almost all the items in my store are used.  Some are labeled vintage, which really means ~ of a certain period.
CONDITION ~
The first priority is to honestly describe every item for sale.  I inspect each treasure carefully, sometimes try to clean it up, then photograph it to show any condition issues.  Sometimes photos don’t show the details or color well enough, and I am not a good photographer, so I will TRY to note every crack, scrape, missing part or wear issue I have found.  If you find that your purchase is not as you understood it to be, I will accept almost all returns (unless otherwise stated AS IS on particular items) if you notify me within THIRTY days of receiving your item.  Many eBay sellers post a condition rating system, but I sell so many different kinds of collectibles that it’s difficult to standardize a system.  Please be assured that my goal is to make you happy with your purchase.
PAYMENT ~
With eBay managed payments, I can accept methods other than Paypal.  Sometimes things come up that cause an inability to pay.  Please let me know and don’t leave me wondering.  If payment isn’t received within 4 days, I will open an unpaid item case.
SHIPPING ~
Quick shipping is a priority.  Most items go out the next business day following your payment.  I use USPS First Class or Priority Mail.  I will also ship internationally, but the costs do get high even for small items.  You are responsible for all duties & taxes on your items, as well as knowing about any restricted items (for example – knives/lighters). I will not change value on any purchase.  All treasures are securely packed and sometimes insured depending on your preference or the value.  If you feel that the shipping cost is high, please bear in mind that shipping involves more than just the postage. It includes packaging materials (which are often recycled, so don’t mind the weird box) and driving to the post office. If there is a way to reduce your cost, I will try to do so. Combined purchases are welcome and will reduce postage fees. I want to work with you to deliver your treasure in the fastest and safest way.
FEEDBACK ~
Please contact me with any questions about an item before you bid.  I also appreciate any additional information about items from anyone who knows more.  I love learning about collectibles from all the experts out there. Positive feedback is so important to me, that's why I try hard, so you feel like giving it.  I will leave feedback for you after I've heard you've received your treasure.  If you have trouble leaving feedback for me, please let me know, so I can inform eBay of the problem.  Thanks for reading this far
