Need Help to Restore Unthreaded Vintage Meerschaum Hinged Claw and Egg
While not finding exactly what I want I am getting ideas from various sites. It seems any tremel present on the wooden stem I could simply cut off before trimming to fit the mortise.

Need Help to Restore Unthreaded Vintage Meerschaum Hinged Claw and Egg
Very nice! I found a place that sells stems that I suppose I could trim to fit the hole (14mm). Yet to find anyone that sells that sort of mouthpiece or anyone who has tried to modify anything else.- Daibko
