    Needing help with Peterson pipes

    I have two Peterson's I just recently acquired in my obsession....I mean...collection. Yea, that's what I meant. These are the 6th and 7th Peterson's I've owned and I'm kind of at a stand still and need to pick my friend's genius brains (My friends being you guys!). I've cleaned them up...

    Repairing a Genuine Amber Stem

    Hey, guys, I need a bit of help. I have a Kaldenberg meerschaum from 1868 and the genuine amber stem got a bit damaged on the way from Britain. I do not wish to smoke this as the research is revealing that this pipe has a link to a ceremony during the construction of the Transcontinental...

    Meers, Cake or Not

    Bahahaha @ baronsamedi. No cake, definitely. I've got about 3 meers that are old (pictured below) and no cake as others have stated. Think of your meerschaum as a diabetic and diabetics don't get cake.... Brimley has spoken. This is my Kaldenberg (I believe its from 1868 as there is an...

    HELP! I Need Help Identifying This Logo On This Meerschaum

    It's definitely itty bitty compared to some of my others. It's gotta be all of 4" long from bowl to stem. It has the original case with it also. The ladies in the jewelry store were going nuts over it, lol

    HELP! I Need Help Identifying This Logo On This Meerschaum

    I took it by a jeweler today and had the metal tested. It's 10k gold around the bowl and the accents, the ferrule is sterling of course. During researching this thing, I did find that it was made in the late 1800's....which is stinkin' awesome... Now comes the matter of trading this for a...

    HELP! I Need Help Identifying This Logo On This Meerschaum

    Well for one thing, if it could talk, I'd listen to it for hours. The only immediate plans I have for it right now are: 1) dancing around my living room singing "I found an antique meeeeeerrrsscchaaauuum" (check) 2) Cleaning it up a bit more (check) 3) Smoking a bowl full of a nice aromatic to...

    HELP! I Need Help Identifying This Logo On This Meerschaum

    I recently found this estate meerschaum and I'm having problems identifying it's maker. The golden accents on the bowl seem to be gold, but I'll have that verified by a jeweler this week. However the hallmarks seem to be puzzling me. When holding the bowl in the left hand and the stem is...

    Savinelli Pipes

    I actually just smoked my very first Savinelli this afternoon and I had to post. I have 3 Peterson Tawney Deluxe meerschaums, a handmade Israel briar, a couple of MM corn cobs, and a 16" clay tavern. I scored two Savinelli's last week (A Roma #101 and an Extra 115 KS) and quite honestly I fell...

    Show Us Your Pipe Rack or Cabinet

    I just used my Dremel sanding tool to grind the u-shapes into the bottom. This wood was pretty soft, so it wasn't too terribly hard to do. It just needed a bit of control to shape

    Peterson's Tawney Deluxe Meerschaums & homemade rack

    I show you mine...you show me yours! I recently scored THREE....count them...1...2...THREE (and trying to score #4) Peterson Tawney Deluxe African meerschaum pipes from an estate find. This guy had no idea what he had and every meerschaum he had was described as "white enamel of some kind"...
