Anti-Semitic Pipe – Germany, 19th Century
Anti-Semitic pipe, hand-carved, made by Fr. Rosenstiel. Berlin, [c. 1880]. Carved Bakelite; carved wood; amber mouthpiece.
In the center of the pipe is an engraving of two Jews sitting on a bench. Behind the bench is a sign upon which is engraved: "Carlsbaden Idylle". Apparently, the scene is referring to the Jewish custom of visiting the Carlsbad baths (Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia).
4.5X12 cm. The pipe is in good condition. Placed in original case, silk-lined (minor damages).
