What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Two very old Meerschaums. The case for the lower one has 1876 scribbled on - always suspect of that sort of thing but it is a three star. the eagle claw case has no markings inside. The tin has an 1897 award noted on it So obviously post that date.- Levallois

New meerschaum with amber stem I am unsure as to age but I would guess late 19th to early 20th century. Great detail on the claw.- Levallois
