the stem and shank are block amber and the bowl looks like faturan to me
the trim is rolled gold and the pipe is 5 in long
It has a nice case with KB&B in a clover

KB&B built special order pipes like this I think it was made between 1890 to 1920

Re: KB&B Faturan and Amber pipe with Gold trim
The bowl looks to be made of the same material as faturan prayer beads which are VERY expencive..I have been colecting for many years and have not seen a pipe bowl made of this material
The pipe has been smoked but probably not over 10 times in a hundred years and is clean inside and out
The original eBay seller got it in an estate salein a box with dishes and costume jeweleryand knew nothing of pipes..one minuite after he pisted it I bought it
