I will be listing 100’s of quality estate pipes, please check and watch my other listings. For your consideration is a simply incredible Meerschaum Estate Smoking Tobacco Pipe by J. Sommer Fab. France 19th Century. This isn’t a new Meerschaum pipe made my an amateur carver, this is an early estate piece likely dating to the 1800’s. Look at the detail on this hand carved face. He harkens to an African native man, wearing a safari style hat. Look at the patina from being smoked and... handled, it takes years to achieve this extremely desirable look. This pipe commands attention and it will certainly draw the interest of fellow smokers. Please look at the pictures and ask any questions you may have. Sold as is. Some stems are loose or may need adjusting or shimming. For pipes which have been smoked, it’s a good idea for them to be cleaned and sanitized before use. He has a chip in his hat which I’m told can be repaired and he needs a new stem. USPS First Class Package.
