Lighthouse By Akdolu

I have been contacted by Huseyin Akdolu cousin (and another gentleman who built the case for the pipe). Huseyin Akdolu died about 10 years ago. The entire family were meerschaum pipe carvers at one time. Cuneyt Akdolu is Huseyin's brother and now lives in California. I have messaged him and hope to get a response.

And if I am not mistaken, Ali Riza Akdolu is their father (also passed away). He had some impressive works as well:

The stylized sig on the sides of the pipes looks very cool.

One of the Akdolus carved some incredible HUGE castle pipes. These posted are wonderful!
