A very nice & old no-name 'chimney' and two other meerschaum pipes in their original case, made by Ahmet Büyukçopur in Eskisehir, Turkey.

( From Pipedia: Ahmet Buyukcopur pipes are made by two artisans in a small workshop in Eskisehir, one focusing on smooth pipes and the other on carved pipes. All pipes are advertised as made to order from the best quality meerschaum block.)

Not for my daily/outdoor use but they are great looking and fine smoking pipes.

Hey guys, just recently started collecting meers and picked this one up at an antique shop. I believe it’s Reiss Brothers company? I also believe that it’s early 1920’s? Any othe info is welcomed. Not a bad grab for $60

Very nice find. I would go with that since it's on the inside of the case and just research the company, cheroot pipes were very popular back in the day but not always easy to find information on. Someone here might have more info, good luck!

SMS aren't the best, but it makes me happy when I see em. I just know how well they smoke and how inexpensive they can be.
Definitely agree with your thoughts on SMS (based on my sole experience with them on this pipe). They may not be as good as my vintage Andreas Bauers (SMS seem to smoke a little hotter, and drilling is not as perfect), but they are great bargains at their price point and still smoke very well. Definitely a worthwhile purchase, to be sure. I am really enjoying my little SMS meer!
