You\'re looking at a very rare collectible long smoking PIPE with SOLID SILVER bowl rim and cover.
The SOLID SILVER parts are HALLMARKED in Sweden with G4 date mark for 1837!
It is a real piece of smoking history, made in the pre-Victorian era when the tobacco and opium werefirst appearing in Europe...
Size of the Pipe is about 63 cm long (over 2 ft), a very unusual size for a pipe!The rim and the cover of the bowl are made of SOLID SILVER so this pipe certainly belonged to a 19th century wealthy gentleman!
Condition wise it\'s not very good, the bowl was broken off and has been repaired (see pictures).The silver parts are deformed, dented, scratched and tarnished as expected from age related wear and tear.Also it is missing the mouth piece at the end of the wooden pipe.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
- It\'s made of wood SOLID SILVER, not sure of the purity grade - possibly 800/1000 as most of continental silver. It has the Swedish hallmark from what appears to be 1837.- PLEASE USE THE PICTURES to JUDGE CONDITION...
