Vintage Carved Meerschaum Varietal Shaped Pipes Set Of 5 In Case

Description

For auction are Vintage Carved Meerschaum Varietal Shaped Pipes, a Set Of 5 in a Black Case.
These vintage pipes are preowned and in very good condition. The bowl pipe has been used as was the cigarette holder. There are two unique skull pipes and one Turkish man head pipe which are all 3 unused. The bearded pipe is designed for proper hold by the shorter beard on its left side.
These are all marked by maker with the carved imprint of “PHK 595”.
They rest in a black vintage case with a golden satin upper lining and the pipes sit in yellow velvet. The curvatures of the Turk handle is higher and doesn’t sit extremely tight in its space. But all are secure.
All handles were tested with Simichrome to see if they were Bakelite, but they are not. I don’t know the history of these pipes as they were an Estate purchase earlier this year. If they are identified as Turkish, the handles could be faturan. This is my best guess.
Please review all pictures as they are considered part of the description. Email with questions or concerns prior to making your bid decision.
