Estate Savinelli Extra 2007 - Meerschaum Bowl, or Reamed Bowl?

[mrmachado]

The owner doesn't know if this is a "meerschaum bowl" or a scraped bowl. She thinks it's a meerschaum bowl. I think it's just a reamed bowl.
What do you guys think? She is asking $45 by the way, please tell me if it isn't worth it.

Looks pretty chewed up either way, I believe I would pass.

To me, it looks like a meerschaum lined bowl that's been badly chipped by sloppy reaming.

I don't like the looks of the chamber...I would pass.

There's also this Savinelli Extra from the same seller, at the same price.
Please take a look and tell me what you think:

This one isn't over-reamed... Worth it?

That appears to be a 4005 shape. Hard to gauge condition from those two photos but it looks like the stem isn’t chewed up so that’s a plus. Also consider that since these are both 4 digit shape numbers, they are likely 60’s to early 70’s production, which might appeal to you. Lastly, from lurking the forum, I know you’re in Brazil. Is this for sale locally? If so, and if the 4005 is in decent shape, then yes, I think $45 would be a decent price. Try offering $35?

Hard to tell from those photos. The following may help.

She also showed this beautiful Butz-Choquin.
Said to be in perfect condition and almost new.

Again, $45
Can anyone guess the model? She doesn't know the model.
And what is the better cost-benefit, the Savinelli or this one?

 

[mrmachado]

The unsmoked "Samba" models that I've looked for are around $85.
But they are coloured (blue, yellow stems...). I don't know if it's the same model.
This one seems older.

If this is an older Samba, it probably has more value than the common Sambas.
Great deal or not?
