Deluxe Popeye the Sailor Man Meerschaum Pipe - A portrait carving of the ever-popular Popeye the Sailor Man brings a legendary figure to life. The one-eyed, pipe-smoking sailor was famous for his superhuman strength gained from eating spinach and his affection for his sweetie pie, Olive Oyl. The cartoon character Popeye first appeared on January 17, 1929, in the comic strip Thimble Theatre. This smooth meerschaum pipe portrays his distinctive look as a squinty-eyed sailor with a bulgy face, smoking a pipe, and wearing a sailor's cap. The translucent bent stem is striking with its brightly marbled yellow and black colors. What a great collectible tobacco smoking pipe that is certain to spark conversation and bring happy memories.
This meerschaum pipe is hand-carved from genuine 100% solid block meerschaum, and it is imported directly from central Turkey. After carving the pipe, it is dipped in beeswax to provide a protective coating, which also helps to draw out smoke particles and tar. The pipe will change color over time as it is smoked. The stem is made out of a special Amberoid acrylic, which provides a great finished look and long-lasting durability.
Since every solid block meerschaum pipe we sell is carved by hand, each pipe is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of artistry. This hand-carved meerschaum pipe comes in a hand-made burgundy leather and velvet-lined brass hinged case. The case is a custom fit made specifically for this Popeye meerschaum pipe.
