Very nice score

 

[jpmcwjr]

Great score. Don't think I've seen one like the first shape.

 

[ophiuchus]

Very cool, all three of them. I'd love to see how the claw meer colors over time. ::

@jpmcwjr - Yanik's website and auction had it listed as an Apple; but it's a weird shaped Apple. Looks like a cross between an Apple/brandy shape and a volcano. It's really big with a good size bowl.
@ophiuchus - I'm very interested to see it color as well. A former YouTube Pipe Presenter (Old Pipe Pops) had a Bekler CAO egg and claw that he colored amazingly fast. After 4 months of smoking the pipe one would have thought he had been smoking it for 10 or more years. I couldn't believe how quickly it colored. It would be great if this one colored like his did.

@tschiraldi - Thanks! It's my understanding that the Thompson Meerschaum pipes were made by the Manx Meerschaum Company on the Isle of Mann (Great Britain). Back story is that my 3x Great Grandfather was Sir Hall Caine who was a famous author known as the Manx Man, and lived on the Isle of Mann. I thought it would be cool to own a pipe made by the Manx Meerschaum Company which was made on the Isle of Mann. Just thought it was interesting.
