Similar shape bowl to mid-late 19th Cent. 'Cutty' clays as well as to similar period meerschaums such as this one which surprisingly has an almost pre-smoked bowl look as seen on the 'Tanga' African meerschaum pipes of the 1970s:-

I am just curious but it looks like the chamber of the briar pipe is immaculate and unsmoked - I assume this is a trick of the lighting used to take the picture. The meerschaum 'cutty' looks to be a standard 5 1/2". Is the stem a replacement or original? Any idea who made it or is it one of those generic Austrian pipes that seem to surface quite often? BTW love your broken clay pipe collection. Thames Mud Larking or Victorian dump digging?
