Rare pipes under hammer


SPECIALIST collectors worldwide are expected to bid in a rare Clitheroe auc­ tion next week. s.L More than 130 lots of smokers’; pipes and paraphernalia will go under the hammer at Silverwoods monthly auction on Thursday. Some of the pipes are ornately carved in meerschaum, featur­ ing animals and people - many in their original cases - as well as a beautiful murano glass pipe, opium smoking pipes and a rare 17th Century .“Bristol”.Mon­ key clay pipe.

The collection is being sold on behalf. of an anonymous North West vendor. ,:


M i i f i ■ 'iFR F F ' ‘ ■ . Silverwoods’ auctioneer, Wilf Mould


commented: “Obviously, this is some­ thing of a ‘one off’ collection in terms of its sheer size and the rarity and quality of a number of the pieces. We have already had interest from potential buy­ ers in North America and are anticipat­ ing that specialist collectors and curators from all over the world will be visiting our website over the coming weeks.” Sale highlights include an unusual


Middle Eastern carved wood double stem pipe for two smokers and two pres­ entation Meerschaum cheroot holders under a glass dome dating from 1862.
