The Thrill of the Hunt (A Guide to Estate Meerschaums)
I've no experience with these Pipes, but have done a lot of good business with the site. If you get one, let us know what you think and how the experience turns out for you. -
Paul Fischer Freehand
Thanks guys! Yes Cortezattic, it reminded me of an art deco style as well. Much of Paul's art is characterized by flowing lines and this is a cubist departure that is uncommon for him. Good to hear that people are considering smoking Meerschaums! It takes time to build a collection, so... -

Paul Fischer Freehand
This one is a unique interpretation of a Paneled Billiard that Paul Fischer created, likely back in the late '60's to early '70's. It has found a place in my modest collection. It has been remarkably spared from the burden of time and should become a great smoker... -
The Thrill of the Hunt (A Guide to Estate Meerschaums)
I understand your concerns wallbright, having experience with university life. Bubbadreier, that is the hot topic of any Meerschaum discussion that I've encountered for all the years I've been smoking them. Unclearther, that is an area of the estate/antique market that I know next to nothing... -

The Thrill of the Hunt (A Guide to Estate Meerschaums)
Thanks guys! The Meerschaum trades are in decline, according to what I've been told. There are no apprentices to the Master Carvers and this generation of the work force has found other career paths than what the mines can offer. My hope is that with the resurgence of Pipe smoking in the... -

Estate Koncak Bent Billiard Silver Spigot
I've spent the morning cleaning this one up. The previous owner didn't leave any tooth marks on the bit, but I don't think he ever spend a cent on Pipe cleaners. Cleaning was done with Everclear, shank brushes and a bundle of Pipe cleaners. The derlin push/pull connector was also replaced... -
My Modest Collection
Your collection continues to grow in both quantity and quality! Good for you! -
Meerschaum Problem/Question
Kevin's observation is correct, and sadly not uncommon. The Meerschaum marketplace requires knowledge to locate and acquire quality Pipes. Counterfeit would have no market were it not for the existence of true coin. It is to the Buyer's benefit to have sound product knowledge and experience... -
The Thrill of the Hunt (A Guide to Estate Meerschaums)
Thanks Kevin! Once again, you have taken the raw product and created a finished masterpiece. -
Sadik Yanik Freehand
Thanks guys. Over the years, there a many of his Pipes that I would have liked to have added to my modest collection, but it comes down to a matter of available cash. This one stands out in his art and just wouldn't let me rest... -
This is too funny
Sometimes, you've just got to go with the entertainment quality of language(s)... Awhile back on e-bay, I was reading the pre-sale description of a Chinese Corn Cob knockoff. The deal maker in the entire pitch, for my bout of uncontrolled laughter was: "Easily Installed." To be fair, I'm...- fred

Meerschaum Problem/Question
Let me know what the guys in Richmond say about it... My speculation is just that, a guess. I can say that I've not run into this before, or even heard of it for that matter.
