Hello Gents,
I came across this pipe while overseas. It is a Turkish Meerschaum Pipe hand carved by Turkish Master Pipe Maker Burhan Yucel. I have been trying to get it appraised for some years now. I'm not generally a pipe smoker so it's appraisal is something I've been hard pressed to find. It is an unfired piece that holds an ounce of Tobacco. I've been to several pipe/smoke shops in my region, but unfortunately most have little to no experience with Meerschaum, with no contacts for an appraisal. I'm dying to know exactly how much this pipe is worth. Also, a curious inquisition; is the pipe actually worth more fired or unfired?
