Going to have Sutliff Molto Dolce in a Meerschaum Figural Skull (with a replacement acrylic stem) from the late 19th or early 20th Century. I’m beginning to think
@Ahi Ka might be correct that this may have been made by Vincent-Coutier et Fils from Saint-Claude (it came in an Au Pacha tobacconist case with a Geneva, Switzerland address)—the “VCF” hallmark on the electroplated band adds up to my mind in terms of period and location. At some point, I may make or have a stem made that fits the case and is better balanced. For now, it’s smokable and can be enjoyed as is. I don’t think there are enough intact threads in the pipe or broken original amber stem to get a working interface with a bone tenon.
