    Description

    Checking the archives this is the first Charatan Meerschaum pipe I have ever offered, they are quite rare. While hard to date I would comfortably say late 1800's to early 1900's but could be earlier. It's a beautiful bent Billiard, about a Group 3 and offers a bulbous bowl with a relatively generous chamber for its size. The transition is effortless to a thick half bent round shank that is adorned with a Gold filled band that appears to have been placed for aesthetics rather than a repair and from the coloring below it I believe there was at one time an even larger band. The stem is original egg yolk amber and has a threaded tenon that appears to also have been replaced at one time and allows the stem to sit flush and tight. The meerschaum has begun to color a bit but not a ton. Comes complete with original case I have lightly restored this pipe to keep it as close to its original state as possible as this is a special one that belongs in a pipe museum..........or to enjoy which I hope the high bidder will and let me know how it smokes!
    Nomenclature: CHARATAN'S MAKE LONDON ENGLAND (CASE)
    Dimensions (approximate): 4 5/8" Long, 1 5/8" Tall, 7/8" Chamber Width, 1" Chamber Depth
    Condition: Very Good. Chamber is clean and sound showing just a touch of wear and some to the draft hole which is common with antique meerschaum. Stem has a repaired bite hole on the underside of the bit which is well done. Nick/ding on the bottom of the bowl. Overall superb for its age!
    Weight: 30g
