I picked this Meer up yesterday along with 8 other pipes from a phone call recieved. I am totally lost on this Meers' make, as there are no markings whatsoever on it. If anyone could shed some light, that would be great.
All I can tell you is I've seen similar pipes on ebay. Try searching "Meerschaum Pipe", and see if you find something similar. Maybe if you find one on ebay, they will have the maker.
I doubt seriously that was someones project unless it was 100 years ago or more. I'd not start carving on that pipe until your absolutely sure what, where, and most especially when it came from!
