Thanks guys...! This is another one where I got lucky..., almost made it under the radar but wound up with another bidder to make me shell out a few $$, but not bad at all. These African Block Petes have been going for huge prices lately and there have been a few that I might liked to have brought home, but the bidding went into the stratosphere. The Prince shape is uncommon in the Meerschaum community, so this one makes No 3 in my collection. I'm still trying to discover what the finish is called, as I've heard it referred to as Craggy and Coral, and I'd like to know if it's a blast or a rustication... This one should clean up nicely. I've even got another Peterson box and bag for it to rest in... Now, I just have to WAIT...

Absolutely beautiful. I actually found a guy with about 5 of these and I about crapped myself when I saw the auctions a while back

More thread necromancy. All these old threads keep popping up.

I'll definitely have to post a couple pics of mine soon when I've finished restoring the stems that have oxidized. They're BEAUTS!! I have one prince style and a billiard style. Trying to get my hands on about 5 more that this guy has...and he has NO idea what they are.
I'm trying out my poker face on him....

Nothing wrong with old threads, Uber.

No, there isn't. It just seems like they are popping up a lot recently.

All these old threads keep popping up.

I'd noticed that too. Doesn't seem like uber said it's a bad thing, just a bit unusual.
