*RARE* MANX BLOCKMEERSCHAUM *MILLENIUM OF TYNWALD* (1979) English Estate Pipe

Description: *RARE* MANX BLOCKMEERSCHAUM *MILLENIUM OF TYNWALD* (1979) English Estate Pipe A very beautiful bent with silver ring and saddle mouthpiece by Manx for the Millenium of Tynwald. Manx pipes were being made by Laxey Pipe Factory which, until it closed in 2002, manufactured also the meerschaum bowls for other well known brands such as Peterson, Barling, Nording and others. Manx meerschaum pipes were made on the Isle of Man, a self-governing British island between the UK and Ireland. Tynwald is the legislature of the Isle of Man, claiming to be "the oldest continuous parliament" in the world. In 1979 Tynwald commemorated its 1000 year anniversary. This particular pipe for sale, with medium-large size bowl (similar to something between Dunhill's Group 3 and Group 4 in size), silver ring and saddle mouthpiece, is carved on all of its parts, including the bowl rim. The rim has two points that look like scratches or dents, however we believe they are just an effect from the asymmetry and unevenness of the whole rim due to the carving. The pipe has all of its parts in excellent to near mint condition except for an issue on the stem. The edge of its underside had a hole, which has been filled with strong 2-parts epoxy glue. The repair is very good and the fill is not easily visible (see photos). In addition, we include as a spare in this sale also a second stem, made by Peterson (p-lip), which fits perfectly to the pipe and is in near mint condition.
