Bidspirit auction | Billiard Briar Pipe & Alligator

Billiard Briar Pipe & Alligator Stand - This lot consists of a straight billiard-style smoking pipe and a decorative cast metal pipe stand. The pipe is crafted from briar wood with a dark-finished bowl and shank, fitted with a black composite stem. A thin white band is visible at the junction of the shank and stem. The left side of the black stem features a single, inlaid yellow circular dot. No manufacturer names, model numbers, or country-of-origin marks are legible on the shank or stem of the pipe. The accompanying stand is made of cast metal, likely brass, and is sculpted in the form of a coiled alligator or crocodile. The stand features a textured surface depicting scales and limbs, finished with a golden metallic luster and a dark green patina settled into the recessed areas.
