Know anything about this lad?

Hi, I am new to this forum and new to collecting. I’m working on a nice herd (mob? Pack?) of meers and am thinking of a custom cutty/Zulu now.

Aside from that, I came across this image looking at old pipes.



What is doughboy puffing on in his bomber coat. I can’t tell if it is a one piece chimney or perhaps a coloring bowl? I do enjoy the carving and maybe a slight forward cant. What would you guys call it?

Hope to see you guys around I am a former lurker.

No cant to that one, just a billiard with an animal carving. Could be a coloring bowl.

Clumsy.

A mess of meers, perhaps?

Looks like the Meerschaum I saw on SP today.

SP? EDIT: oh smokingpipes

I propose an improved model, one of these with a coloring bowl. No but seriously I’m looking for any excuse now, really grasping.

Sp is the forum sponsor that sells pipes...... Equestrian - Old German Clay Pipes | Smokingpipes.com - https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/clay-pipes/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=509971

Not exactly like it, and I was wrong its actually clay.

That is nice for a clay I like impractical pipes like clays cutties and oom pauls.

The estates sure are a mess, I’ve actually developed a phobia of that good ol estate smell.

I think I’ll post an introduction when I get some pipes back from briarville. Probably try to commit to a “one yeer meer” for the sake of experiment and so the other pipes can stay “new” for a while.

First off Mister Watts I thought you had passed away glad to have you here. Second to me it looks like a coloring bowl I think I see a seam. But it's all a guess. In fact I can't be 100 percent sure that is a pipe even. Could be a spy device or a very poorly thought out device used to help aim mortar shells. A kind of survey device. But I would guess pipe plus coloring bowl.

I’m going to go have a look on google books for early reference to coloring bowls. I’m not interested in them for their alleged intentions or to know them by their fruits but honestly I see it as a simple filter that would keep the host pipe clean or at least uniform in shade.

Any chance this is improvised, maybe a coloring bowl somehow fixed to another bowl for a chimney shape? There's nothing people won't try, to get a second look. He looks like a longshoreman wanting a long smoke.

@Cornell D. Cavendish I only smoke clay pipes!

How long does one last you? And how do you clean yours? With a bit of wire?
