The shank is cherry. Most of the pipes in this style have cherry shanks. The pipes are more common in Meerschaum than in porcelain Some of the most beautifully carved ones are in wood (see Ben Rapaport's latest book THE WIDE WORLD OF WOOD TOBACCO PIPES).

I'd like to see pics of some of the Meerschaum and wood ones . . . if you have them, too.

That 3-tier 66-pipe rack is amazing. I've never seen one that big. Looking at the top row, 10th pipe from our left . . . is that by any chance stamped CONNOISSEUR over N.Y.C.? I don't see anything exceptional or high-grade among the other pipes . . . .
