Share source(s) to buy new stems to change a pipe's look, i.e., lucite, etc?

Mr. Bangzoom ---

Any connection to the toy developer/inventor company in Cincinnati, or is your board name just a coincidence?

No connection just coincidence. It actually comes from the fact that I am a huge fan of The Honeymooners TV show.

You might ask @RustiePyles CPG very nicely to make you one of his beautiful stems

He may even make you a 7-day set of stems like he did for @ashdigger

The answer to your question isn't straight forward, by in large there are no ready made replacement stems for pipes unless it's a cob, Falcon, or some meerschaums. Most stems are made to fit each pipe individually, replacement stems are likewise custom fit to each pipe. Unless you have access to a lathe or tenon cutting tool your best bet is to send the pipe you wish to have another stem made for to a pipe repairman.

Pre-molded stems can be bought from various places like Vermont Freehand but these stems will need to have the tenon sized and the exterior cut to match the shank/pipe.

Some pictures of the pipes you'd like to change the stems on might help.
