Pioneer Meerschaums

[fred]

Here's a link to the Pioneer Meerschaum catalogue. These Pipes were popular

during the '70's and had a good reputation among those who smoked them. It's

a bit of history that you might find interesting...

Asia Minor - awesome. I liked the "all about Pioneer Calabash" page.

Thanks for this. In addition to a large gourd calabash I also have a black meerschaum bent by Pioneer. I've never seen another one like it. I need to get busy with photos, I guess.

As far as I can tell, Pioneer made some of the absolute best gourd calabashes from the 50's - 70's. Very well put together, and good smokers!

I had a black bent. But that and a lot of other stuff "vanished " while I was out in Washington.

Wow awesome link, thanks! Picked up an estate yesterday for 40 dollars at local online market here in Denmark, it is the gold band version on page 9 in original box, seems I made quite the bargain!! Thank you for the info

I have a carved black Oom Paul I bought in 1976 with a pearl brown acrylic stem, and a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem. Great smokers.

What a great catalogue and its very interesting to see that amber stems were still being offered in 1960!

My 2 Pioneer meers. Both from the early 1970's.
