Interesting.I've never seen one like that before! Seems even worse than a screw in stinger system. If the threads wear out, and the stem gets crooked, you can't clock it?
Really? If so, It must have been done a long time ago? This pipe is on auction and this caught my attention. It’s in an Everyman box but it can’t be an Everyman.Hmm, thats a new one on me... I've never seen a Comoys with a round COM and a screw in tenon, let alone a tenon that looks like that. Maybe @sablebrush52 @georged or @jguss can offer some input on this. The round COM was not used prior to the mid 20's as far as I know. I suspect that is a tenon repair.
Yeah, if it was repair its an old repair.Interesting.

Omg duh. Very good.Clarification ---
Those are standard repair components, but used in an unusual way.
Whoever did it decided to jam-fit the smooth end into the shank, and leave the threaded end unglued.
(Normally the threads are crosshatched, and the doodad permanently glued into place with epoxy. The result looks and performs like a standard push-fit stem.)

agreed. Stamping is from the 50's, but never saw a tenon like that.Repair
Amazing. So, do I tell the seller this information or just whistle and go on my way? I’m inclined to go on my merry way. I fear I’ll bring trouble on myself on that auction site. Hmm…maybe I can message them privately somehow. All questions are public there.Clarification ---

Sellers rarely appreciate advice or opinion on their listings, don't waste your time.I cannot message him privately. I can only do it publicly.
I guess you’re right. I wish someone had done this for me in the past though. But I see what you’re saying. It probably won’t do me any good and it IS clearly pictured.Sellers rarely appreciate advice or opinion on their listings, don't waste your time.
