excuse me
Excuse me if I offended anyone for making a suggestion. I will try to resist saying anything next time in order not to upset anyone's feelings.

Congrats!
Kevin, Congrats on your pipe, it's a beaut!!...I was watching it. I think I recall seeing one in a Leland's auction about 15 years ago. I believe I've seen at least one other vintage baseball pipe that was later than yours that had a baseball for the bowl. But I'd consider yours the best of any I've seen. I only have a vague recall of the one I think I saw in Leland's. I figured for sure the bowl would have been a baseball....but Demuth describes it in the patent as a "Globe". You sure dug up some GREAT reference.
I have the football pipe below. I've never liked that mine has "The Rugby Pipe" name on the side since I'm usually only interested in American sports...Nevertheless I'm convinced it's American because of the quilted over the knee pants.

A similar example (also missing the bowl) sold in Hunts' back in 2004. It went for just about $1K with the "juice". See link below...

I was watching this auction as well Kevin, and you did exceptionally well, in that the scarcity and quality factors are off the charts.
Mark...I've seen a number of the pipes you describe with the baseball bowl, but it's been a long time since this one has turned up. I'm sure I've seen another besides the one in Hunts. I'll dig tomorrow. Congrats Kevin!!!

maybe...
Maybe he just described it as a "globe"...maybe it was a baseball...hard to imagine it not being one....I'd keep looking for a complete example...It would sure be helpful if someone posted a photo of one....I'm pretty sure I saw one in Leland's 15 or so years ago...why don't you give it a shot and email them and see if they might have a photo in their files...if not maybe try to contact Bill Mastro....the squeaky wheel gets the grease

I just picked up one of these pipes on Ebay. Just got it today, & I'm loving this thing. I'm not positive, but it appears to be the original bowl (used). It's nice to get a piece of memorabilia that I can handle without worrying about creasing, damaging, etc.
