Old Pipeguy's mention: "pre republic Pete made in 1916 my oldest
pipe" has me wondering about what is your oldest pipe. Mine is either my
1938 Comoy sandblast billiard (dated by the hallmarks on its silver
band) or a meer billiard with an amber stem and bone tenon that's got to
be around the same age or older, no real way of dating it that I know of..
So, what's your oldest pipe?

A meer cutty with an amber stem. Been told that it likely dates from the early
'20s, but not sure. I've smoked it once, and it is a fine pipe.

Was it made in France? Did it come with a fitted case? I have about
three of these in my collection, and was wondering about the story
behind them. They also made some out of briar with the bone tenon and
an amber stem, I believe. I have a meer which was presumably made for
IRC (Iwan Reis and Company).
