PETERSON BLOCK MEERSCHAUM SHAPE 87 - Pipe - Sea foam

Peterson's Block Meerschaum, shape 87, Made in Great Britain, in massell o meerschaum, with a very pronounced rusticated/patina finish and a black Peterson mouthpiece. The inscription “BLOCK MEERSCHAUM” is important: it indicates a pipe carved from a block of meerschaum, not a simple briar pipe clad. Era From the visible characteristics I would place it roughly in the 1970s, probably the first half/mid-70s. The exact dating cannot, however, be established from the number 87 alone. Current value — September 2026 I have found fairly useful recent comparables: A Peterson Block Meerschaum from the 1970s recently sold for US$199, about €170–175. A Peterson Block Meerschaum from 1976, model 314, with a sterling silver mount, sold for US$375, about €323. Other vintage Peterson Meerschaum pipes have sold for around US$195. Yours, however, is not a standard specimen: the large body, the shape 87, the highly developed coloration, and especially the distinctive mounting make it more interesting. My estimate for yours Scenario Realistic value Quick private sale €180–230 Fair market value €250–325 Peterson/meerschaum collector €325–400 Today I would value it around €300–350.

Estimate:£152.29
