Here is something for the Sunday afternoon forum nerds! I have quite a few BBB meerschaum 'cutty' pipes most of which I have owned for years. They all get smoked on a very regular basis and quite a few of them have silver bands or repairs which is pare for the course with anything this old. Sundays is my polish silver bands day and routine pipe maintenance since I am guaranteed no dumb arse phone calls requesting instant free gratification legal services/drafting etc. Anyway my question to the panel is how old is this damned BBB pipe. I used to think the hallmark was 1897 but then again it could be from the 1920s although I didn't think BBB made meerschaum 'cutty' pipes that late. I suppose it could be a later repair or something odd. The hallmark is an anchor on its side, lion and the letter X. Any thoughts, guesstimates?
