I could never tell them apart without holding it that's for sure!
They're usually Jambo stummels with a stem fitted by the brand. Parker did them, Manx too, as well as Barking and others. I think Peterson had their own stummels, or had their own shapes made.Barling made a bunch of them as well.

Embers, that one fooled me. It totally doesnt look like a meer. I have a couple meers somewhere that look like the OP one, but the blast on that pic fooled me.
Here’s another listing from a seller that calls himself deadguypipss.
Exceedingly Rare Nording African Block Meerschaum Saddle Stem Brandy Pipe. This wonderful pipe will be the crown jewel of your meerschaum collection. I only see one other Nording meerschaum for sale and this one is a far more desirable shape! It is simply amazing and is the largest African Meerschaum that I have seen. The combination of wonderful rustication, that classic brandy shape and the fumed rim make for such a nice pipe. The stem fits securely into the brass military mount yet is easy to remove.
View attachment 102405View attachment 102406View attachment 102407I might have known there was such a thing as African meerschaum but I’ve never seen a pipe made of it.
For $$349 I could buy about a dozen more Lees.
It is an interesting and beautiful pipe.

The wheel has now gone full circle and Hardcastle now make a briar designed to look like an Ambroselli meerschaum.
That's it! I'm patenting the cob-style briar-style meer-style briar-style morta pipe. It will be the next big thing!!!! The Missouri Van Cleef Bruyere Morta!
I see a Van Cleef and I want to paint it black.
That's a blasted 2015 Peterson Founder's Edition briar. I have the rusticated version of that.
I have a Peterson Tanganyika (Amboseli) meerschaum systems pipe with hallmarked (1976) silver.
Nording owned Manx pipes which made pipes sold under their own label as well as quite a few other brands including Barling.
I think the vendor asking $349.99 for an African meer either doesn't know the market, or is hoping for a total novice to come along and be taken in by his hype.
The Amboseli mine shut up shop some time ago, but they are hardly rare
Nearly all the african meerschaum pipes sold under the Barling,Nording,Peterson,manxman
etc names were made by Laxey Pipes in the Isle of Man.
