Re: unknow pipe
Hi - Is there any way you can get more close-up clear photos of the details of the pipe? I would almost guarantee that there is a marking somewhere on the pipe which identifies the maker, but sometimes they are hard to find and could be a small symbol instead of a word/name. There are some souvenir pipes that may not put a maker's mark, but this is a very small number. You can usually find the maker's mark on the bottom of the stem or around the bowl.
Re: unknow pipe
Probably not worth much, and probably made around the 1970s or so. I'm making an educated guess as I primarily deal with opium antiques and opium pipes. These types of pipes seem to be popping up everywhere but they're all different and unmarked. I myself own one someone similar for some reason. It's hard to say though, nobody can really tell you because there's so many different ones. Some could be legitimately old but we will never know because of so many newer similar looking ones and replicas and whatnot. As Joseph asked, close ups would help.
