Pair of Melbourne Pipe Bowls: 1. Expressly for / Morgan & Mackintosh / Melbourne. 2. For Morgan & / Mackintosh / Melbourne. (Victoria) Tobacciana Pipe Pair of Melbourne pipe bowls. Various. 1850s
1. Fair. Stem is broken off as can be seen. Chip to rim. Some nicks and odd flakes or wear to the left side across the writing. Some stains. 2. Good. Stem has broken off, as can be seen. A nick or two to rim edge. Some discolouration and marks. The only reference I can find for this company in regards to tobacco is the 1850s, there are plenty of references as timber merchants right up to the 1930s afterwards. Not sure on age of these, but have suggested 1850s purely for the aforementioned reason. Regardless, you never see Melbourne marked pipe bowls. Grade: N/A Estimate: $10 - 20
