ebay find came today

[gambit88]

A Pedigree products box set. I dont know much about it. I dont think its one of the gbd pipes. There are no markings. The pipe is pretty though and the price was right. I think the stem and cigarette holder are bakalite but not 100%

I love the deep rich colors on the bowl.
I hope it smokes as good as it looks.

 

[gambit88]

I do too. Its got some cake build up. I'm wondering if the inside of the bowl is meer. I've got a RBC with the same coloring that has a meer bowl encased in briar. Guess I wont know until i ream it out

I wonder if its linked to pedigree dog food. Thats all I seem to find. I wonder if it was a token given for years of service back in the 60s.

Looks like a pre-colored meerschaum pipe. Stem and holder are probably Bakelite. Are they red?

 

[gambit88]

Kind of a reddish brown with a bit of a swirl. Looks like its supposed to mimic amber. Im pretty sure the bowl is briar but it may be meerschaum lined.

Very nice ::

I am with xrundog on this one. That my friend is pre-colored meerschaum with bakelite stem. Very nice and should smoke well one the bowl is gently cleaned. Remember to use modeling pipe cleaners on the stem as modern ones can damage the old bakelite stem. Enjoy!

If it IS a pre colored Meer, as it appears, it's one of the most thoroughly colored I've seen. I wonder what was it's primary fuel?

Thanks I didn't know that about the pipe cleaners. I'm going to clean it out today. Glad I have a few softies left.

Well I reamed it out and it isn't meerschaum. Still pretty though
