French Estates: Unknown WWI Trench Art Pipe (c.1918) Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 004-003-3717

One of the more unique pieces to come through our doors, this antique pipe made it through WWI's trenches, with its original owner carving the names of French cities on its surface. Due to its historical nature, we have not cleaned or restored this pipe in any way, and suggest its next owner do the same — this is a delightful piece for any history buff to have on their shelf, however.

Condition:
4/5 This pipe saw action in WWI and likely hasn't been cleaned or smoked since that time. Given that the owner scratched various cities around the bowl, smoked, and chewed on the stem, we chose not to clean this pipe at all. It's in original rough condition fitting for an unaltered personal museum or collection.
