<font size="2">'''*'''From the personal collection of Yang Forcióri. It is rare to find a cased set with more than two pipes. Additionally, most of the sets with three or more pipes that I have seen consist of only smaller pipes. This set is remarkable not only in terms of its condition, but as well, the pipes are good sized, with the 60 being a true group 4. Note also, as per the inscription in the second photo, the three pipes are “made from one briar root”.</font> | <font size="2">'''*''' From the personal collection of Yang Forcióri.

The pipe includes the original inner tube that also has correct patent stamping.</font> | <font size="2">'''**''' This pipe is extraordinarily large -- 11 inches in length and 4 ¾ inches in height.
