Large Antique pipe

[kelopiippu]

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 . ️

Are there any hallmarks on the metal?

 

[Simmerdown☕️]

Yes present the hallmarks & insignia clearly. Looks very interesting & historic. Definitely a European Classic. ️

Is the bowl meerschaum?

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.

These types of pipes don't bring a lot of money on the open market so I think I would just keep it as major addition to the collection.

Given the number of forum users here, there are likely to be people who collect antiques.

Well, that definitely is meets the criteria of a large antique pipe. It has value if you can find the right collector or if you're able to dig up some history on the pipe.
