Found this today just killing time. Not something I would normally get but it was only $7 and the guy at the store didnt realize the pipe was inside. I think its in great condition after looking at some on the BAY. Worth around $20 for the pipe and another $20 for the case. I think Ill display it in my den/office. Looks like an elf owned it, It is only about 3 1/2 inches long...:)

beautiful pipe JayHow:)
Thanks Bellin68
Pipe looks too small for the case. Do you think they are a match. Still a good deal.
Not sure blunderbuss2. Seems to fit just fine from what I can tell? Might be a mismatch, just the way it came. Im happy enough with it, in the end Isnt that really what we all want, is to be happy.Have a great day!
looks like a riverboat gamblers pipe -- pipe looks unused -- nice find
You are spot on again epson233, the pipe is unused, never smoked by anyone as far as I can tell anyways. No burns where you would expect them to be if it were smoked before. Is the riverboat gamblers pipe a certain kind of pipe, or do they just resemble this one? Trying to learn more is why I ask. Thanks for commenting. :)
