Beautiful pipe, Tango.
I've never had a bamboo shanked pipe so please forgive the FNG question. Will the bamboo change color?

OK I guess I had better put you all out of your misery! Here are a few 'real' meerschaum pipes.... :rofl:

 

[scrooge]

Condor which one is the oldest?

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

Dang that's a lot of cutty pipes. Instead of CondorLover as a screen name it should be CuttyLover. :mrgreen:

Nice collection of pipes.

There are a couple from the 1860s and a few from the 1870s/1880s with the rest being 1890-1910 mostly they are Viennese made with a fair showing from the various Parisian houses and a few English stragglers. This is the tip of the ice berg so to speak and one or two of these pipes belonged to very famous people including a Kentucky Derby winning jockey from the 1890s and one of the detectives who investigated the White Chapel murders aka the Jack the Ripper killings.

No Conan Doyle meers? (a lead in to asking if he in fact smoked meers, or any pipe)

 

[condorlover1]

No sadly not and neither do I have any of Holmes pipes! :nana:

 

[odobenus]

Two that my father gave me. The calabash is only marked 'Austria.' It smokes wonderfully. The second, which is a little beat-up but still distinguished, has no markings. Any thoughts as to the provenance of either?

You know I have even more pictures but I don't use photo*ucket anymore and this would bore the hell out of you pretty quickly!

Have you tried Imgur? The site's layout isn't as nice as Photosuckit's was but it serves the same purpose without all the crap caused by Photosuckit getting greedy.

Nice stuff, guys!

I’m new to this website, but I’ve been collecting meerschaums for years, just because I love the quality of the carving.

Most of them have never been touched by tobacco!

Others are true antiques that reflect along and well used life... I’ll have to share some pictures.

Or maybe not? I just tried and it asks me for a url?

This may help:
Once your photos are on a photo hosting site (such as Imgur.com; Postimage; Dropbox, etc. Photobucket), or on virtually any site, including this site's album such as eBay, Amazon, you-name-it, select the full sized image, then Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) on the image itself, then choose "copy image location" or similar words. Now paste that URL (the full web address, which should end in .jpg or .png) into the IMG box in the reply window of the thread you're posting to.
The site's album is also a good choice for displaying photos, and the same method works for obtaining the image's URL for copying into the IMG box.
There are other good illustrations and steps on how to post photos in the "Latest Discussions" box,
