GUTTA PERCHA CARVED DETAILED EAGLE CLAW TALON PIPE

Huge B Kaufman Brothers Bondy gutta percha carved detailed eagle claw talon pipe and a bent stem. The bowl of the pipe has a carved pattern made out of what I believe is Italian Briar, and unscrews from the base of the pipe. The stem has a clover with the initials KB&B inside. It does not separate from the pipe. I understand this dates from 1850-1880. There is no odor to the bowl, and I'm sure it was never used. This is a BIG pipe. Using a tape measure, I followed the line of the pipe, and it measured 15" from the back of the stem tip, down and back up to the top of the bowl. The bowl is 1-1/2" high, the top measures 1-1/2" diameter on the outside, 1" on the inside, and the base is 1-3/4" in diameter. Excellent
