Pipe identification

[Danhendrock]

Hello all!

I recently received a pipe from my late uncle. I have no idea where to even start with regards on how to find out more information on this pipe. I believe it is meerschaum and there is capital G makers mark. I can’t find any more information on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please see photos for reference.

The makers mark looks like a calabash pipe, rather than a G.
If it indeed a ‘G’ then perhaps it stands for ‘Gawd Almighty!’
Apologies, but that’s one of the ugliest pipes I’ve seen.

Did you check Pipes : 1 letter on the stem - http://www.pipephil.eu/logos/en/lettres/le-une-lettre.html? The site identifies numerous pipe logos and markings.

It's a meer, I'm sure it will be a good smoker, do you smoke or is this trying to gauge it's value?

I do not.

I do not.

I guess I’m looking for more info on its history as well as value. Maybe I’ll pick up the habit!

I do not.

As far as cash value not that much, lots of no name meer estates out there for around 25 bucks each, the sentimental value ... well only you can put a price on that!

According to the Pipedia article submitted by @snagstangl, Golden Horn exported pipes carved by various people including Ismet Bekler, one of the most celebrated Turkish meerschaum carvers, who passed away in 2018. If this was one of his carvings and his name appears on the pipe, his estate pipes tend to sell on ebay in the $100 to $200 range.
