Description from the seller

1. Vintage Ropp Briar Smoking PipeManufacturer: Ropp (Saint-Claude, France) — Original historic factory production.Estimated Era: Mid-20th Century (circa 1950s–1970s).Shape/Profile: Classic straight Billiard.Grain Pattern: Elegant mixed grain showing distinct birdseye swirls on the bowl profiles and tight cross-grain alignment running down the shank.Markings: Clearly features the original, clean oval Ropp stamp on the vulcanite/ebonite stem.Dimensions: 15 x 4.5 x 3.5 cmWeight: 35 gCondition: Very good vintage estate condition. The stem fits securely and tightly. The chamber shows a light, healthy vintage carbon layer ready for use or display. The rich briar finish retains a beautiful sheen; under close inspection or bright direct light, the underside of the shank displays a subtle, natural reddish hue within the wood grain that integrates smoothly with its age patina.2. Antique Art Deco Cigarette / Cheroot HolderPeriod: Circa 1910s–1930s (Art Deco era).Materials: Premium two-piece unscrewing assembly. The long main stem body is crafted from a vibrant, marbled butterscotch Bakelite/Catalin resin. The darker topside mouthpiece tip is made of meticulously carved natural organic horn, showing gorgeous golden-brown chatoyant swirls under direct light. The pieces connect securely using an intact bone screw-tenon mechanism.Dimensions: 6 x 1.2 cmWeight: 4 gCondition: Good, fully functional condition. The yellow Bakelite section shows typical minor light tooth indentation/chatter near the bite area from historical use, which is entirely consistent with an authentic pre-war piece and does not impact structural integrity. No deep cracks or split edges.3. Original Custom Leather CaseStyle: Pocket-sized slim carrying sleeve fitted with a traditional antique brass-toned metal kiss-lock clasp frame at the top.Condition: The leather body shows an authentic, beautifully weathered vintage patina with honest surface scuffing and minor spotting from decades of pocket wear. The brass clasp snaps together firmly.Note on Wear: There is a small, minor historic puncture hole on one side of the leather pouch, positioned centrally directly under the brass frame. This appears to be a natural wear point where the internal tip or screw thread mechanism of the disassembled holder pressed against the leather during historical carrying.
