Jo Schultz offered a lot of pipes on eBay. When the lot failed to sell, I wrote her and asked if she would sell me just this one. She did and so in addition to the unsmoked collectible pipe of this style and color I have this one that I smoke regularly, especially at pipe shows, while it awaits a taker on the Pipes for Trade page. When Andrew Williams contacted me and offered me a swap, this one was regretfully traded off.
