Olly wrote with the following information and description regarding his recent acquisition: | |||
<blockquote>"I recently acquired a very nice little meerschaum pipe in it's original case. To try & find out more about it I looked at pipedia & found various contact details for this company. Unfortunately none of them worked and when I tried looking up A.Kemperling Gmbh it comes up as 'company no longer registered' or words to that effect. | |||
I would love for you to be able to prove me wrong, but sadly I think Kemperling's is no more. | |||
If you are interested, I have attached a few photos as I can find no reference to kem's ever making meerschaums. Only the case is marked, so perhaps it's not the original?"</blockquote> | |||
To my eye, the case does look original--the pipe certainly seems to fit well. | |||
