Just took delivery of this MBSD billiard. Pretty nice. I do like the briar mortise which. Very light I would imagine that it will color pretty quickly. The stem is decent but the bit could use some improvement.

If you like the stem fitting, they're made by Black Meerschaum.

Another antique beauty. Very early twentieth century. From Fabrique De Pipes Schlosser, located in Place du Theatre, Arras France.
A lovely cutty or zulu shape. Excellent smoker.

Is that the original stem or a replacement? The sky blue lining in the case is lovely and doesn't look like it has been damaged by pipe 'juices' and general wear and tear. I believe that color is called Prussian Blue and it is arrived at by some amazing 19th century chemical process that would be illegal today! Any idea of age?

OK. I'll play! Here are a few of mine.

This is exactly what I mean when I tell my wife I just bought a "few." Nice work!

If

I only have 1 meerschaum. I'd like to eventually get a straight billiard.
The wife got me this one for Valentine's day and even did a little research to make sure she got a carved on instead of a cheap pressed one. It's a good smoking pipe.

Hey pal, marry her again

I thought so because of the briar mortise

Seeing this thread up in New Posts is always a great excuse to post this daily driver of mine:

a Nate King meerschaum prince with a titanium band -

(I've found a golf tee to be the perfect pipe tool for a meer, not as abrasive on the material).

I had Kraig Sederquist make me a new stem for my Tekin. As always I am flabbergasted by his amazing work. Might send all of my meers to him for restemming.

Does it still fit in its case?

My best friend found this Baki at the last Vegas show when we went together. Unsmoked and now he’s sold it to me for what he paid. It’s a gorgeous piece

Beautifully carved Meer.

This my oldest and best smoking Meer… enjoying still after its maker made in the 1800’s. Respectfully Richard

I remember eyeballing that one awhile back and considered getting it. Congratulations!

That pipe is gorgeous. The detail on that hat is a marvel.
