Kiko, meaning " pipe " in Swahili-Kiswahili to English translation, is probably the best known of the various brands from Africa. (pipedia.org/wiki/Kiko)
The pipe bowl is lined with genuine solid block Amboseli African meerschaum. A solid metal fitting is in the shank and attaches to diamond shaped slightly bent vulcanite stem. The Kiko elephant logo is stamped in white on the side of the slightly bent black stem.
Stamped "KIKO" with the model #73A on one side of the shank and "Made in Tanganyika" on the other, this is an authentic and rare one of a kind pipe from Africa.
Although the pipe is over a half century old it is unsmoked in excellent condition. The pipe comes with its original box which does show a bit of wear. It also includes an original small booklet telling a history of meerschaum with a description and pictures of the different pipe styles and a yellow plastic sleeve.
THE STAND IS NOT INCLUDED.
