Help Identifying Pipe

[Fiver5]

Hey all, I picked up a box of estate pipes today and I'm hoping someone might help me Identify what brand this Meerschaum is. It has a "P" logo on it that almost looks like the Peterson's logo but I don't think it is. The only other markings are "Block Meerschaum".
Thanks in advance.

There are numerous old threads on Pioneer Meerschaum Pipes and African Neerschaum Pipes on the Forums.

If there is any interest, just Google "African Meerschaum Pipes" and you should be kept happily reading for a good while ?

My dad discovered those in the mid-1960's and absolutely loved them.

I got one about 2 months ago in a Billard shape from an antique store. I had bought it to re-sell but after cleaning it and smoking several bowls now it's not going up for sale. I bet it delivers a great smoke for you.

It’s common for people to think “Peterson”
