Just found this Meer Pot on the bay, which you almost never see. Only an hour left!

Looks like a 3/4" chamber (hard to say for sure from just a photo) and I like my pots bigger. I won't be tossing any bids at that one but she's a beauty

It does have some pretty beefy walls. If it were cheaper I'd say someone should have a go at boring it out.

Yeah. Probably by the time I had everything done to it that I'd want it would put me in the neighborhood of new meer money

If it was African Meer I'd be hard pressed to leave it alone, regardless of chamber size. I like them all, ones I can't fit a pinky in to tamp with and ones that swallow my thumb.

That meer looks familiar... Except it has a nickel ferrule instead of silver
