THE MALE IN QUESTION IS ON A CARVED MEERSCHAUM PIPE MADE IN TURKEY AND
SOLD BY CAO,SIGNED BY THE CARVER I.BEKLER. HE IS KNOWN TO HAVE DONE A
SERIES ON COMPOSERS ABOUT 1970 BUT I COULD NOT MATCH IT UP WITH ANY
MAJOR COMPOSERS USING
KARADAR.COM.

I finger CAO would know better than anyone, so I
contacted them and received this reply:

"If you could provide us with a photo of the pipe,
we could probably identify it for you. Bekler has
done several carvings that fit this description.

You can email the photo directly to me if you wish."

That should read "I figured" above.

Apologies on the error.

Looking Forward, denco-ga

That's one of the best questions I have ever seen on google

I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO EMAIL THE PICTURE OF THIS MAN ON THE PIPE
AS WELL AS OTHER FAMOUS PEOPLE ON PIPES THAT I CANNOT IDENTIFY.HOW DO
I DO THAT?

From your description, he sounds to me like he could be Abraham
Lincoln. Have a look at this search on the Google Images site and see.

Is this him?

How about Cesar Franck -- 19th century French composer of some note
(so to speak).  An image is here:
