1. Very Good. Heavily stained from being on the seabed for many years. Some of this stain is flaking off to reveal the white surface underneath. Very interesting item. 2. Excellent. Just a little discolouration and some minor marks. 3. Very Good. The reason I call this a toy, the inner bowl is totally sealed and so this would not function as a pipe! Discoloured. Flake to end of stem. Flake to bottom of bowl. Interesting little item, possibly a later item, we are unsure of age. 4. Excellent. Tiny nick or two to end of stem. Couple of small and shallow flakes to the hat on the right. Tiny flake or two elsewhere. A great an unusual pipe in terracotta, not sure on the age, looks potentially early 1900s? 5. Excellent. Little flake to seam along bottom. A little wear and discolouration. Grade: N/A Estimate: $80 - 120
