RAOB Clay Pipe

This is a vintage clay smoking pipe, specifically associated with the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB). The pipe itself is crafted from clay, exhibiting a traditional shape and size for smoking tobacco. It is accompanied by a decorative case, featuring a red background with embossed detailing, likely made of card or a similar material, designed to protect the pipe when not in use. The case’s design is consistent with the aesthetic of fraternal organisations of the period.

Condition and Collectibility

The pipe and case show signs of age and use, consistent with being vintage items. There may be minor imperfections to the clay, such as small chips or cracks, and the case may exhibit wear, fading, or slight damage. Despite this, the set remains a desirable collectible for those interested in Masonic or fraternal memorabilia, or vintage smoking accessories. The combination of the pipe and its case adds to its appeal and historical significance.
