It doesn't seem like much of anything lasts that long anymore. You could have it stuffed and mounted and put on your mantle. Gone but not forgotten.

Good thing you got a (pipe)rich Uncle! I have to recount that I've been witness to some serious gentlemanly behaviour on this forum. I raise my glass to you! :worship:

All according to how bad the crack actually is, you might try either or a combination of Elmer's Wood Glue, which is safe to use, and/or Pipe Mud.
