Item Detail

Mersham Pipe With A Famly Crest (397155)

What I like best about this one is how well it fits the hand, and that you can't tell its a pipe until its reversed. The crest is up when it is being smoked, as you would expect it to be. The condition is mint with a rarity code of 4 and a value code of C or D, I really don't know. It depends on who's crest it is, and I don't have the patience to research it at the present time. There are several volumes many inches thick of books on family crest. With the flexable tube at the end of the shaft you can comfortably smoke it from any angle thru the entire length of the cane. The stem is horn, and has great patena, and there is no bluing on the parts. I heard a story today about an old method of aging metal, that is supposedly impossible to tell it's not authentic. You dig a hole in the ground and put straw in it. Then you urinate on the straw and put more dry straw on top along with the item to be aged. Plastic is then put over the item and the hole filled with dirt. After 3 weeks the item being removed is supposedly aged perfectly. The fumes from the urine and the minerals in the dirt is what does the aging. I think I will pass on tring this one. Its been my experience that those that make reproductions never go the entire distance. They tend to be lazy, being satisfied to fool the majority, not the entirety. Its the majority that do most of the stupid buying, as the entirety are too knowledgeable and it takes too much extra work to fool them, it just isn't worth the effort.
