Thanx for the kind words. It’s amazing what a little sandpaper and carnuba will do. This one was someone’s means to an end for many years before I scooped it up. Uploading the photo wasn’t
Happening easily on the phone for me. I’ll figure it out soon i hope!

Holy smokes, that's a great pipe regardless of the price. But for $5 that's a steal. Congratulations to you, buddy.

I've seen a lot of Alpha pipes on eBay. How do they smoke? Are they worth picking up?

Old thread, but that pipe is so gorgeous (and the deal so amazing) that I just had to congratulate the owner.
Congratulations on a beautiful pipe !
