Meerschaum Lined African Pipewood Dublin Pipe

Meerschaum Lined African Pipewood Dublin Pipe - This Dublin-style African meerschaum-lined  pipe has an angled top and a smooth rim. The rest of the pipe is a rusticated, light brown color. The pipe bowl is lined with solid block African meerschaum. A solid metal fitting screws into the pipe bowl and attaches to a black vulcanite bent stem. The white Kilimanjaro rhinoceros logo is stamped on the side of the smooth stem.

Stamped "Made in Tanganyika M" and "Kilimanjaro 290" in a smooth area on the underside of the shank and pipe bowl, this is an authentic and rare pipe from Africa.

In 1955 Kenyan businessmen from Nairobi established the Tanganyika Meerschaum Corporation after a meerschaum mine was discovered close to the surface on Mount Kilimanjaro. The meerschaum from this part of East Africa was known to be tougher, less porous, and priced less than Turkish meerschaum. Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged and became known as Tanzania in October of 1964. The company closed soon after.

Although the pipe is over a half century old, it is unsmoked in brand new pristine condition.
