    Meerschaum Maker Id?

    Hi! I bought these 3 meerschaum pipes off craigslsit a few years ago, a steal at $150! There is no signature on any of them, there is an inscription on one the the boxes, W.B.C., and one of the cases has rusty latches, maybe indicating age? Can anyone tell by the look of these pipes who the...
