'''Notes:'''

*'''1'''. the pictured pipes are not in scale with each other.

*'''2'''. heavily framed shapes indicate the ‘semi giant’ shapes commonly termed today “ODAs”.

*'''3'''.”(4)” & “(5)’ indicate approximate group number size.

*'''4'''.” extremely rare” is rarer then” quite rare” which in turn is rarer then” rare”.

*'''5'''.  all rarity indication go to the 1950s/1960s period – for  later, less collectible, years the situation may be quite different.

*'''6'''. rarity does not necessarily translate into premium values – ‘non-semi giant’ shapes generally find little interest even at low prices even if extremely rare, and the same can hold true for less popular ‘semi giant’ shapes.  Conversely, relatively common but highly desirable shapes such as the 835 will sell at a premium because of their popularity.  In other words “value” is the product of supply & demand, not rarity.

*'''7'''. “old inventory finished in ‘70s/’80s’ refers to factory inventories of unfinished bowls that were set aside in the 1950s due to a lack of consumer demand (not all pipes later finished from these bowls were exactly consistent with the original shapes).
