About this Pipe:

There is not a ton of info on this brand out there. The most notable source says this is a sub-brand of Hilson of Holland, made in Denmark as others have stamped, though it could have been made elsewhere. It would be a safe bet to put this pipe in the mid-century era to the 1970’s.

At less than an ounce in weight, it will be a very comfortable pipe, great for a shorter smoke or repack it and have some variety as I like to do.

It’s in very good condition overall with no issues to speak of and has been completely restored. The ebonite stem has been de-oxidized and is free of any chatter or scratches and is jet black. The chamber is in great condition and aside from some very minor indents on the rim, it’s otherwise a very nicely kept pipe! Dimensions and stats are further below.

Please look at the photos as they’re your indication of condition along with dimensions, that are listed below. If you have any questions, please ask before purchasing.

Thank you so much for looking. - Peter

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: - CANADA + Elsewhere:

I’ve made it avaialable for Canada but prices vary a lot so it’s a case by case basis on other countries. I can quote the cost and allow for shipping at your request If there is not an option available automatically.

Please message me on this any time. I will only charge the cost of the postage plus insurance as it’s a bit more risky. It’s about $1 per $100 of insurance. If the cost of shipping to your area is less, I’ll refund any excess charges as well.

I BELIEVE IN THE GOLDEN RULE. I sell and ship everything as I’d expect to receive it myself or better.

PLEASE READ:

I don’t own the United States Postal Service. Once I’ve shipped your package, I have NO control on delays.

About Me:

I am obsessed with the hobby and have a deep love for it in all respects. I collect pipes and grow my cellar while enjoying several bowls a day. I have invested a large amount of money into my shop and I am always working on improving. As soon as I’m able to get a home with room, I’ll build my own shop and be making pipes much of the day too. It has to be home as I always need to be close to my son. - I am a stay-at-home dad for my special needs son who is amazing and my pride and joy. I really needed a way to feel accomplishment and stay busy while trying to earn a bit extra for equine therapy and other services that will help him and have fun too. This has really helped a lot and while stressful at times, such a fun thing to spend time doing. I do struggle to reply here and there if a lot is going on. If I take a bit longer to reply to questions or requests, I apologize in advance.

SHIPPING:

I ship within 1-3 business days or however it is stated. I try to ship the same or next day but sometimes I may have a lot. I take my time to pack items very safely and do not spare expenses when it comes to this. I’ve never had an item arrive damaged. In most cases, I have a poly bag on top to make it rain resistant and a bit more secure. The exception is it the package is larger than standard. I don’t profit off of the shipping fee. My fees are for postage and materials only.

If you’re not 100% happy, please let me know. I’ll do whatever is fair to fix any problems. I accept returns within 1 week of arrival (unless stated as longer) and I can be flexible there. We all have lives. Returns accepted provided that: The item has not been used. It is in exact same condition as the photos in the ad and when I sent it out. Buyer pays shipping for returns unless there is an error on my end in which case I will cover the cost. I almost never get a return. I try hard to not have any surprises and you get what you see or better in person.

Why the Fake Grass? - It helps the pipes stay in position for taking photos actually. It works so well, I’ve not changed to something a bit less funny looking. It stands out too doesn’t it?

If you ever have questions on any of this, feel free to email me. I’ll respond as soon as it’s possible. The site can spam my inbox a lot or glitches can happen, so sometimes they get lost or buried beneath others. Feel free to send again if I don’t reply as it’s never intentional.
