I got this really big Antique pipe. It's little damaged, but overall on good shape. I was wondering is there market for stuff like this? I have not tryed to smoke it ever, but some one has. I think it's from late 1800's and some one told me it maybe from Sweden. I Post picture of it later.

There’s a market for most anything. Especially, if age & condition present well. There are definitely a few in here that can help you determine if what you have may be of value once you post pictures. Please make sure the resolution is clear and crisp on insignia & stamping. Best of 🍀. ☕

Definitely 19th century, definitely meerschaum. An expensive, celebratory pipe in its day. If you could get in a quite a bit closer with clear images of the stamps I might be able to tell you more about its origins.
There is a definite market for this sort of pipe, but it's really niche. Unless you can reveal it's backstory it won't bring a lot of money.
