Very Vintage Sterling Overlay Pipe Equestrian Steeplechase

Exquisite one-of-a kind smokin' pipe in a burled wood with a sterling silver overlay of a steeplechase / horse theme. Rooted in history, the pipe conjures up memories of the ritual of old fashioned pipe smoking with the nostalgic aroma of fine Kentucky tobacco... doing it all in fine style. Total length of Pipe is 5" ; diameter of bowl is 1" x 1-1/2" depth. Marked Sterling. The patina to the wood and the silver along with color shift to the end of the stem attests to its true vintage and well-loved stature. Nice & sound rustic pre-owned condition with patina consistent of a piece of its nature and time. This would make a really nice gift for someone - a horse lover, a smoker as well as a lovely and rare piece for the collector.
