Meerschaum Pipe. Approximately 2½ in. high and 8 in. long. Round bowl set in a design with a Chinese appearance. The mouthpiece is curved. Sherlock Holmes is often associated with a Meerschaum pipe because the actor William Gillette, who appeared on stage as Holmes over 1300 times between 1899 and 1932, used a Meerschaum pipe. Meerschaum deposits are found only in central Turkey. Very attractive.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
