Description: Unsmoked Altinay Sultan Meerschaum Pipe w/ Case. Nicely Carved, Very Light, 100 Percent Block Meerschaum Vintage Turkish Pipe. Description & Info: *I spare no expense in shipping materials for a safe arrival. About this Pipe: (I am happy to provide a bag of 100% pure white beeswax for waxing your meerschaum pipe. Enough for several applications.) Altinay is a higher-end Meerschaum brand known for quality and that you’re getting a very good Meerschaum Pipe. No surprises and I like they have the stem insert to verify the brand as well. Their Sultan and Similar pipes sell for $199 on their website right now, sometimes on sale for $189.95 and they don’t have the Altinay Insert either. This is such a classic design, it’s almost synonymous with Meers. The Sultan looks great and no chips or mistakes on the pipe. All Meerschaums are hand carved as it’s the only way it’s done, likely in Eskişehir, Turkey. The sultan is one of the first designs one thinks of when imagining a figural Meerschaum pipe. It sports the Altinay insert on the colorful acrylic stem with a plastic screw in insert that goes into the stem and not directly into the Meerschaum itself which can lower the life or be predisposed to wear faster. It’s in top condition as unused, vintage and in its original, custom fitted case. The meerschaum is from Eskişehir, Turkey where nearly all quality meerschaum is mined and carved by hand.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: - CANADA + Elsewhere: I’ve made it avaialable for Canada but prices vary a lot so it’s a case by case basis on other countries. I can quote the cost and allow for shipping at your request If there is not an option available automatically. Please message me on this any time. I will only charge the cost of the postage plus insurance as it’s a bit more risky. It’s about $1 per $100 of insurance. If the cost of shipping to your area is less, I’ll refund any excess charges as well. I BELIEVE IN THE GOLDEN RULE. I sell and ship everything as I’d expect to receive it myself or better. - ABOUT ME: I am obsessed with the hobby and have a deep love for it in all respects. I collect pipes and grow my cellar while enjoying several bowls a day. I have invested a large amount of money into my shop and I am always working on improving. As soon as I’m able to get a home with room, I’ll build my own shop and be making pipes much of the day too. It has to be home as I always need to be close to my son. - I am a stay-at-home dad for my special needs son who is amazing and my pride and joy. I really needed a way to feel accomplishment and stay busy while trying to earn a bit extra for equine therapy and other services that will help him and have fun too. This has really helped a lot and while stressful at times, such a fun thing to spend time doing. I do struggle to reply here and there if a lot is going on. If I take a bit longer to reply to questions or requests, I apologize in advance. SHIPPING: I don’t own the United States Postal Service. Once I’ve shipped your package, I have NO control on delays. I almost always will ship the next business day. I put within 1-3 business days as sometimes on busier weeks, I’ll need an extra day to properly pack everything. I’ve never had an item arrive damaged. In most cases, I have a poly bag on top to make it rain resistant and a bit more secure. The exception is it the package is larger than standard. I don’t profit off of the shipping fee. My fees are for postage and materials only. RETURNS: If you’re not 100% happy, please let me know. I’ll do whatever is fair to fix any problems. I accept returns within 1 week of arrival (unless stated as longer) and I can be flexible there. We all have lives. Returns accepted provided that: The item has not been used. It is in exact same condition as the photos in the ad and when I sent it out. Buyer pays shipping for returns unless there is an error on my end in which case I will cover the cost. I almost never get a return. I try hard to not have any surprises and you get what you see or better in person. I RARELY ever get a return. I can count on one hand how many over several years and it’s usually because the pipe is smaller or larger than a customer expected. This is why I ask twice in the ad to review dimensions I carefully take. If you have any concerns about size, I’m happy to provide a few more photos to you with some size comparisons of your request. Refunds are for the cost of the pipes shipping if it’s your choice. If there’s a mistake on my part, I’ll pay for all of course. I very much want you to be extremely happy with your purchases. Not just for business, but because I’m an enthusiast and want the same myself. Why the Fake Grass? - It helps the pipes stay in position for taking photos actually. It works so well, I’ve not changed to something a bit less funny looking. It stands out too doesn’t it? If you ever have questions on any of this, feel free to email me. I’ll respond as soon as it’s possible. The site can spam my inbox a lot or glitches can happen, so sometimes they get lost or buried beneath others. Feel free to send again if I don’t reply as it’s never intentional. ~ Peter - Radiant Pipes
