PRESENTATION HORSE HEAD MERSCHAM PIPE, OSAGE INDIAN CHIEF.

Revised: 9/30/2011

Correction: Pipe stem is Amber NOT celluloid.

PRESENTATION HORSE HEAD MERSCHAM PIPE, OSAGE INDIAN CHIEF. This is an interesting cased pipe with an inscription that reads “Belong to Big Chief White Horse Eagle” presented by C. Lazard by her Majesty the Queen “WA-THE-NA”. This pipe and pipe case appear to date about 1900 and all is in wonderful condition. More research is going to be required to find who C. Lazard was and what his association was with the Queen, but Big Chief White Horse Eagle we know was a Osage Chief at the turn of the century. Pipe case has protected this carving and it appears like new. “JOH. N. MENHARD/GEGRUNDET 1837/WIENI WOUZEILE 28” is imprinted in a gold seal on silk liner in case. CONDITION: Pipe is in excellent condition overall, celluloid stem, 14K gold presentation and carved horse head and mane is also excellent as can be seen in photos. Pipe appears unused and well protected in its custom fitted hinged pipe case. Leather veneer to case is chipped and portions missing. The silk and velvet lining is very good overall. 4-42281 JS168 (1,000-2,000)
