thanks Glen, I guess I know a little about pipes, but really just a minimal amount of knowledge, like when jook said a Dunhill, I immediately knew high end from London and the bulldog model is probably the most popular among tobacconists in which I am not.. but it's my job to learn the value of things, and to keep up on trends in value on things, for instance, pitcher and bowl sets are nearly valueless when compared to their value 15 years ago..clam broth lamps you never see them anymore, they have been hoarded to extinction as well as cut glass..seldom if ever comes up.. I don't use a smartphone for help either, it's simply by attending so many auctions the last 17 years or so.. actually attended auctions about every Saturday when on a farm in Iowa in the 1960's-1970's, but only went along cause I had no choice..
