This is a magnificent hand-carved pipe in original red and blue paint confirming the Boston team colors of the age. The pitcher is posed in the "ready" position and dressed in a bib-front uniform with Boston "B" on bib. Condition is excellent with just a few minor flecks and a short line that appears to be a carvers defect. "Game used" (has been smoked). Meerschaum Pipes date back to the 1700s. Originally German, they are hand-carved from a soft white mineral and are a highly prized grand collectible unto themselves.
