    I am wanting to learn more about this pipe that my grandfather who was born in 1900 in Scotland brought over to Canada.
    I have been told that it was passed on to him. It has been entrusted to me so I would like to learn more if I can.

      Welcome to CW, looks like you have a Meerschaum pipe. If you google that you can find the history. Meerschaum pipes date back to the 1700's, its a mineral that was easy to carve and worked good for pipes and is still used today. Very collectible!

      Thanks for the information, it feels like it is wood. Does Meerschaum feel like wood?
