NORDING BLOCKMEERSCHAUM (1980s) *N. MINT* Estate Pipe

Description

NORDING BLOCKMEERSCHAUM (1980s) *N. MINT* Estate Pipe
A very beautiful and big blockmeerschaum. Freehand, carved, with bronze ring and saddle stem.
Made by the English company MAN or MANX which manufactured blockmeerschaum pipes, apart from its own, also for top companies such as Peterson, Barling and others.
The company was closed in the early 2000s, we estimate that this pipe was made some time between the mid-1970s and the 1980s, judging from the fact that it takes 9mm filter (see also the amount of oxidation on its stem before it was cleaned in the last photo).
The pipe is quite big (bowl similar to Dunhill's Group 4 in size) and is in near mint condition without faults.
