I couldnt sleep the other night and found these on The Bay for 25.00 w/shipping. I bought the whole mess of them because I have a 50's Grabow Commodore that I absolutely love smoking and wanted the old Grabow in the pic. Also bought this lot for the at the time unknown pipe with the flame job for rustification. Well...It turns out three of the pipes are EA Carey, including the flamed one I wanted, and the lion I think MAY be Meershuam too! The other unknown pipe has the long stem is G.S. Cross or GS Gross Featherwight #305A. Seeings how I really only wanted two of the pipes I feel I got my moneys worth!
Is there any way to tell if the lion pipe is Meerschaum? I have never seen a Meerschaum up close, especially an old one.
