Missouri Meerschaum "2nd's" Grab Bag Contents

jaytex1969 · May 10, 2018

I recently decided to snag the 10-pack of "factory seconds" cobs for about $33($44 w/ shipping)
I got 8 Legends, 7 with the 5th Avenue bowl shape and one with the Rob Roy shape. Three had bent amber stems and 5 had straight.
I got 1 Mizzou and 1 General, also.
All appear smoke-able, though some stem trim inside the bowl may be needed on a few. External flaws are mainly small chips on the rim and a couple look near perfect to me.
Those of you who have also ordered this, what kind of mix did you get in yours?

I love the grab bags, and bought one at the Chicago show last week. $34 out the door. The bag I selected had:
Six Legends. All straight. Four Fifth Avenue, One Flat, and one Rob Roy

2 Pony Express. One black stem and one amber.

One bent Country Gentleman

One bent General. This one's funky. The plastering is light. A lot of the red cob shows through, and the rest of it is tan rather than blonde. It feels a little rougher in the hand than a fully finished cob and is a bit lighter than a typical General.
The bag I bought at the 2016 show had eight Legends with a mix of bent and straight, a straight Country Gentleman, and a bent Diplomat Fifth Avenue.
All the bags I looked had two large pipes with the rest being Legends or a Legends/small pipe mix.
