Straight Grain RARE 1987 Randy Wiley “Patina” smooth finish plateau rim Pipe #77 and in Excellent Condition also in Original Leather Pipe Glove. Terrific USA made pipe.
Randy Wiley is one of the pioneers in American Artisan pipe carving and was incredibly popular in the 1980's. This one came from a collector of his pipes. These are incredible rare Collector's pieces with this one in a fine 360° straight grain.
Randy made an awesome Dublin shape here in his classic "Patina" straight grain. It shows a lot of Danish Freehand influence to my eye and sports a tall Chimney style bowl with thick walls and a lovely plateau rim.
Again this pipe awaits its new owner though I wouldn't fault the high buyer for keeping it like I did since it's such a collectible piece!
