Morphy Auction

What did the 20 Fox sell for?

[PAUL PLUNKETT III]

In times of economic turmoil you would think big ticket items would be on the cool side but not the truely rare items such as the world record revolutionary Tomahawk Pipe that sold for an astounding $664,220 at Morphy's . The opening bid was north of 200K WOW!!!!

I saw on FB where the 20ga. FE sold for $130,000 + BP. one fine looking shotgun.

It is almost beyond belief that a quotidian artifact of that era was so beautifully embellished and finished and has remained in such pristine condition for over 250 years. Truly a work of art and, given its provenance, one of the few of its kind justifying the catalog description of "important." Makes me want to smoke a fine imported cigar, just looking at it.

Probably a ceremonial pipe Kevin, only used on special occasions. You better smoke a Gurkha Black Dragon to do it justice. Last I checked they were 1K each.
