This auction is for a HUGE S.YANIK MEERSCHAUM SKULL PIPEThIs company was founded by Hüseyin Yanık in 1953 and since then it has been continuing to provide goods and services to customers from all around the world. The center of the company is in Eskişehir, Turkey. They present meerschaum pipes of all types including classic and artistic ones. The meerschaum pipes they make, are made of the best quality block meerschaums. Besides delrin screw and acrylic stems, from time to time amber, ivory, ox's horns and begalite stems are used for different pipes. The holes and airways of the pipes vary depending on the shape and size of pipes and their size generally change between 2 mm and 4,5 mm. Likewise, sizes of the pipes' bowls change. Bowls are covered with beeswax in order to protect and render them long lasting. Each pipe has its own special case that is handmade and made of leather and trunk.This pipe was purchased about 10 years ago, and is from my personal collection, and rarely smoked.There is no better carver than S. Yanik when it comes to carving detail into Meerschaum.It is unbelievable just to behold his workNot only is it a conversation starter, and a great smoker, but it is also beautiful to behold, and a pipe that is still a collector's piece.There are two factory fills if you hunt for themNO TWO PIPES ARE EVER CARVED EXACTLY read more
