New S Yanik Freehand Meerschaum "Manta"
Gorgeous! Yanik has his own aesthetic with abstract pipes, and like the originator, Ismet Bekler, his are IDable on sight.- jonasclark

Amazing Meerschaum Find and Restoration!
Gorgeous, and I'd bet those bands are gold-filled/rolled or plated, not just brass.- jonasclark

Lee Van Cleef’s Timeless Meer
Most of the "Lee Van Cleef" copies, to my eye, don't match up. Simmerdown, aside from size and the metal band, yours is nice. In my opinion, they really need the stem Austrian makers were using in the fifties and calling amberoid, which were a very pale butter yellow. The bright golden yellow...- jonasclark

New SMS Meer By S Yanik
Yep, that round bowl will come out with a gentle wiggle and the flared tip is for a small cigar. St. George slaying the dragon is one of those classical antique pipe motifs Yanik has used.- jonasclark

Early 1900s Meerschaum
Yes, Rpink, antique and nice. Amber stem. I think of this shape and the clouded golden-colored amber stems as being Andreas Bauer or otherwise Austrian. This one was pre-colored, but the darkened spot on the stem shows real color setting in. I'd call that a fine price, higher than I'd like to...- jonasclark

Pioneer Calabash
Judging by the packaging, I'd say 1970s. Pioneer made very nice pipes; I think their calabashes usually used pressed meer, but I'm not certain they all did. Enjoy it! Calabashes, with the expansion chamber and absorbent interior (plus the sweet meerschaum) are wonderful pipes, and with the deep...- jonasclark

Old German Clay Pipe...
I'm surprised the tip isn't waxed. They often were dipped in colored wax (or paint) to prevent that issue. Your solution is simple and nice.- jonasclark

Another Generous Gift: A Color Duke at Long Last
Typo. SQUAT bulldog. Of course, kid me pictured a dog squatting... doing what dogs do when they squat. My mom thought that pipe was ugly. She thought the same of the other one I got there, a straight billiard Yello-Bole that was called "Tweed," and was painted gray with little black and white...- jonasclark

1903 K&P Meerschaum Cutty
Beautiful meer you've got! I can't recommend Ric at Briarville highly enough. If you do send it to him, make sure you send the case with it. He'll make the stem so that the pipe exactly fits the case.- jonasclark

Another Generous Gift: A Color Duke at Long Last
I think these are ugly in a cool way, especially orange ones. When I started collecting as a kid, I had a Grabow that was green, a bent rhodesian a pipe guy told 8-year-old me was called a "squad bulldog." Bought it at a drugstore, and I wish I still had it.- jonasclark

Looking For A Clenchable Meer?
First pipe is an imitation of the ivory pipes made in Dieppe, which usually took that exact form, with the lady wearing a lace ruff and eagle head at the bottom.- jonasclark

Interesting Pipe My Dad Had
I've not seen anything quite like it. Even if the pipe IS a very basic one, the metalwork is gorgeous, and I'd love to see it all cleaned up.- jonasclark
