Charatan Executive Extra large.

Dip Into the Meerschaum World
I own quite a few briars and the other day I decided to take the dip or plunge into the Meerschaum world. To be honest I don't know much about their age, how to date or what they are worth. I paid about £37 for the lot and I don't know if I over paid. I'm definitely going to enjoy smoking them...- HoratioG

Charatan Relief grain
Just aquired a vintage piece for restoration, I'm wanting a bit of clarification on its age, no DC stem, no lane markings, Charatan's make over London England, C enters P and it's come with its original box, shape 60 ( Zulu) relief grain (apprentice piece).

Cool thanks for your reply, any indication or pointers with the clover and ampersand I'm a complete newbie with Kaywoodie/ kB&b stuff. What's the difference between eras. Thanks for the reply. 😊- HoratioG

KB&B Kaywoodie.
Ok folks , I'm from the UK and we rarely see KB&B pipes over here. I recently bought this KB&B Cabinet pipe for £4 with the aim of restoration. I'm struggling to date this one and find a set series. From what I can see it's a poker but with the stem set way high. Any help would be really...- HoratioG

Orlik Golden contrast?
Thank you, I found this one wedged at the back of an old pipe cabinet I bought. Looked unsmoked as well. It's a beauty of a pipe and a fantastic smoke.- HoratioG

Orlik Golden contrast?
Hi folks, I just needed a bit of confirmation on what I think is an Orlik. It doesn't have any other logo or marks apart from the ring mark shown on the stem and a model number saying GC90. Any help would be great. 😊- HoratioG
