One for Lynn.

Next in line was the cigarette holder. Another "we think" job. 
It's guessed as Amber mouthpiece, with Meerschaum holder and "adorned" by silver.
The addition of the box serves a number of purposes.
1. Gives Lynn a look at the back.
2. Illustrates why we thought it was a burr.
3. Prevents a  . . . . l   o   n   g  . . . thin photo.
4. Having seen the box in my paw, it gives a clue to size of holder.

I, sorrowfully, admit to having forgotten about the "hole" in the top. I suspect there has been an insert of some kind in there, like the "twin" I found at that well-known auction site. Seems it MAY be walnut.
N.B. This is NOT an advert for "them".
