    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    I was lucky in the fact that the pipe was much better off than the pictures led me to believe. I thought I'd have to refinish it and do more. I just reamed the bowl then sanded after I figured out it was meerschaum. I did gouge the meerschaum in a couple spots though. Then wiped the outside down...

    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    Figured I'd put an update here because I got a couple questions to ask. I finally got around to cleaning this pipe. After starting to ream the bowl and a couple rounds I noticed it wasn't reaming too nicely. I thought I could see cake but nothing but fine dust was coming off. So I cleaned the...

    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    Not sure this thing is even worth $20 as it sits. That's why I got it mainly. I thought it was a cool looking pipe and wanted something to toy around with and see if I could make it a pipe worth owning. Never had the intention to sell it. Thanks greatly for all the information! I have access to...

    Well according to other sources it looks like this things worth about $60-$80 in good condition. Maybe I'll screw around with it after all.

    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    Not sure if this is the same pipe I have or not but it's by far the closest that resembles it. even the markings are the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcyeKWaN0tM If it's as rare as he leads you to believe maybe I better get it professionally restored. Maybe I'll just sit on it for...

    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    Thanks for the response! Just for the record I do not own the pipes in the last picture. I only own the Savinelli Capri in the first ones. I bought it as a project pipe to mess around with in my spare time. Not sure if it's even worth getting professionally restored. I'm puzzled about the value...

    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    According to the eBay listing that last picture is from, none of those are magic inch pipes. He lists the make of them. I think the previous owner had them converted. It's a shame the previous owner of mine replaced the original stem on the Capri. Since it's not original anyways I'm probably...

    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    Much appreciated! I've been looking for a couple hours and came up with not a dang thing. Can you ascertain any reason as to why these previous owners chose to put them on their pipes? The previous owner from the last picture must have really enjoyed them. Do you also have an idea on the shape...

    Can anyone help me identify these aftermarket pipe stems?

    I just bought a Savinelli Capri Cameo Grain and I'm not sure the model number. Maybe someone can help me with that too. The reason I'm here though is I'd like to know if anyone has seen this stem on it before and can identify it. It's obviously a replacement stem and I've seen them before on...
