Just bought a pipe at a market in Germany for $5, but it has a bad stem. There's a small chunk out of it at the end of the mouth piece, at the top. Otherwise, the briar looks good. It's rusticated with a nice grain.
I don't know how to identify this pipe. It says "22" and then Stanwell with a slight variation in the name stanwell (larger "ST" and "LL" with the "anw" in slightly smaller text).
Beneath Stanwell, it says "Regd No 969-48" Hand Made In Denmark.
To me it looks like a Dublin shape.
Anyone know more about this type of pipe and how hard it is to get a replacement stem? Pretty cheap find, and while there's a pile of cake to ream out, it seems serviceable. The stem doesn't have any markings or a logo on it, but it fits perfectly.
Any ideas are appreciated. Or even if someone has a contact with Stanwell so I could see if they might have a replacement stem to buy? The stanwellpipeDOTcom site doesn't look legit to me.
