Description

Up for bid and your consideration, I have something a little different!  I have a sensational Vintage Hand carved Meerschaum Pipe with the original case.  From what I understand Meerschaum is a rare mineral, a white hard clay.  Apparently, meerschaum pipes do not need pre-smoking to have good quality performance.  Meerschaum pipes slowly change their color to rich honey brown.  The longer its smoked the more valuable it is due to the color change.  I believe this pipe is from the early 1900's era.  For its age the pipe & case are in wonderful condition, no damage, the case has a few ware marks on it but nothing serious, the hindges & clasp are in good condition.  The pipe looks as though it has been smoked but I'm not an expert on pipes so I could be wrong. The pipe is very attractive.  Its value is at $100.00 to $200.00.  I got it at an estate auction in Florida, and couldn't resist!  It's approx. 5" long.   So if your a collector of Pipes or know someone that is, this is a must have!  Starting at a low bid for your bidding pleasure!  I'm also a buyer on ebay, so I understand how buyer's feel when they receive an item that's different than described. So I treat my buyer's the way I want to be treated. I describe everything that I see, good or bad. I pack with great care because I have also received broken items due to careless packaging. My shipping charges are the least expensive way I can find to ship, buyer's are given more than one choice to ship. If for some reason you are not happy with your purchase, no problem just return it for a full refund. I like happy buyer's!! Please don't just leave negative feedback without letting me know that there is a problem. I'm easy to work with. The only thing I insist on is that the item is returned to me, just like any store! Payment is expected within three (3) days of purchase. There are times I'm having some buyers that are bidding on multiple items of mine. I love it when I see that, but sometimes I don't see it... So if that's the case just drop me an e-mail to let me know that you are still bidding so I won't bug you for payment. Also, if you think the items you are bidding on are more than 3 or 4 days apart, I prefer that the first items are paid for and I'll be sure you get discount shipping on the remaining items. Just wait for my invoice before paying. If you have time please see my feedback to read some of the comments from my buyers. Thank you for stopping to take a look.  Please take the time to Check out my other items!  Happy bidding & good luck.  Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
