Unusual Meerschaum

doctorthoss · Dec 10, 2013

I've been thinking about selling this meerschaum,which is probably the coolest meer I've ever owned (money is that tight this year). Unfortunately, it was a gift I received several years ago and I've never seen one even remotely like it. As you can see from the picks, it's a fairly detailed figural featuring owls and various floral images. It was imported by Paykok, I believe. Anyhow, anyone know how rare this sucker is and what a fair price might be?

Hi,
I assume that this is an unsigned pipe? If the grade of block is high then the price would be around 140-220 US$.
Regards,

Yes this is an unsigned pipe. I don't know how to grade the meerschaum.

I have no idea of the rarity or value of the pipe, sorry. But it is beautiful none the less! Meer Queen knows her stuff, so I'd say she's probably spot on.

I would expect in the neighborhood of $150 on Ebay ... but you never know!

Thanks!

I could see starting this at $150 and seeing where it goes. It's nice and the subject is unusual.
