Lee Van Cleef (LVC) Meerschaum

I decided a few months ago I wanted an LVC meerschaum. People have been snatching up bent billiard LVCs on ebay for crazy prices. I came across this bent apple and it actually looked better to me. No competition at all on this one. It was dull and dirty. It arrived today and I set it on the bench to acclimate for a couple hours before I went to work on it. I was surprised that it is a fairly large pipe. About a third bigger than I expected! The stem is Bakelite. The feel of the bowl reminded me of ceramic. So I used stem polish on the whole thing. It cleaned the rim right up. No tooth marks on the stem. Nice faux alligator case with old style fittings. This is maybe a....40s pipe? 15 minutes after starting I was filling it with 5 O'clock Shadow. It's a comfortable good smoking pipe. It's a winner! I'm calling off the search.
