Vintage Meerschaum Smoking Pipe Hand Carved Pack Of Wolves Original CaseBeautiful hand carved Meerschaum pipe depicting a pack of wolves.The pipe does NOT have the stem and one of the wolves has a broken ear (see pictures).These pipes were the most popular between 1870 and 1920. Meerschaum does not conduct heat well, therefore the bowl of the pipe remains cool to the touch.The Meerschaum starts off white and as it is smoked gradually turns varied shades of amber, red and brown which further enhances the carved artwork. This pipe has turned a lovely shade of coffee brown.Older pipes were ornate with intricate designs. The newer carvings of the Meerschaum pipes have become less ornate over time.This pre-owned pipe includes the original wooden, leather covered carrying case lined with fabric and inscribed with "Carl Weis, Warranted Genuine , 399 Broadway, NY". The case is scuffed from age but it closes securely and latches properly.This would be a wonderful piece to add to your pipe collection.
