Pipe in original case, by William Demuth Co, signed with the initials inside of a triangle on bowl and on gold plated edge next to stem area.
The interior of the case is also stamped WDC Finest Quality.
The bowl of the pipe is stamped Real Amber, though the bowl appears to be wood.
The velvet interior is worn and faded, and the buying outer case also shows wear, but the lock works perfectly and keeps it closed.
Condition is good, has not been cleaned, and seems all intact. The threaded section of the stem is in the end of the bowl, but is easily removed, and threads all seem fine. The gold is dented on the top of the pipe bowl, but is not broken.
W. Demuth Company was in operation from 1861 until the mid 20th century. It was considered one of the premier pipe companies, and claimed to be the largest maker and wholesaler in the world in the 1890s. The company was known for the Presidential series, in which meerschaum pipes were carved in the likenesses of US Presidents.
Please see all photos for details and note that there is no stem with this pipe, just the threaded section mentioned above.
Shipping via USPS.
