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).
