Show Off Your Meerschaum Nose Warmers

[condorlover1]

I have adding a few ancient meerschaum nose warmers to my rotation!

I thought I should add that each of these pipes is only 4 1/2 inches long but each one carries a full bowl size so they are good for a thirty minute smoke. All of these pipes date from the late 1890s to early 1900s with the largest one on the left being the bigger of the group. Interestingly I just got this back from Northern Briars who did the very expert silver banding on the pipe and I would recommend Mr. Walkers work to anyone with an older pipe of the variety that I smoke!

Nice display!! Are some re-cuts? I.e., refashioned from normal length? For any in original case, I withdraw the inquiry!

Mine isn't an old guy like yours, but this Altinok is definitely a nosewarmer.

 

[condorlover1]

No they made them that length and hence the matching case!

I don't have a meerschaum nosewarmer, so I'll just drop in to drool, if that's alright. Nice pipes, guys!

Actual manufacturer unknown because case interior was not stamped but possibly CPF. The hallmarks on the sterling band are Gorham for 1863 to 1890. Saddled diamond cross sectioned amber bit is chewed up badly. This pipe was so completely soiled that I wet sanded (600 grit) it when purchased in 2006. The white beeswax has since restored and deepened the color.

I have in my meager collection these beauties all from the kindness of you, Simon, my good friend! All beauties and smoke like a dream!...

I'll post my warmers tomorrow

As much as I would love one of those turn of the century cuttys, I only have this little Zombie Bloody Knuckles by Olie Sylvester. It's about 4 1/2" and is quite comfortable to clench and smoke.
