Any Idea On This Pipe And Lighter

[Latakia Dave]

Hey Folks,
Any ideas on what this pipe is, who made it,age of the pipe and also this lighter? I received these from my wife’s aunt along with some nice ash trays and a nice pipe tray.Any help is much appreciated.

In my opinion the pipe is an old meerschaum pipe. The stem is possibly amber.

The pipe stem maybe made of amberoid and in fact, may be a cigarette holder.

The lighter appears to show a French "75" and possibly a French flag. The woman appears to be pouring a drink for a Poilu. Perhaps a patriotic theme after World War 1?

the pipe is for cigars probably cheroots. Not something people seem to use these days. Pretty neat.

@cshubhra , thanks for the reply sir. I too, believe that it is meerschaum and amber.

@Iraisch,
Thank you for your reply. I had made a guess on the lighter being French, because it has the word Made Lon in raised letters on it. La Madelon is a popular French song from the W.W.I era . The lighter is solid brass , and quite heavy. I'm not sure how one would go about changing the flint in the lighter. The striker wheel is pinned in place and the pin is mushroomed over on both sides...

@anotherbob , thanks for the reply man! I agree that it is pretty neat. I can tell it has seen use at ssome point during it's existence. It doesn't have and residual tobacco smell or taste, but it does seem to have a thin layer of cake.
