    The Turkish makers have it. Vermont Freehand's has the metallic luster I don't care for.

    Sorry, will take the replacement stem discussion to PMs.

    Oh, yes: another color I'd be happy with, if it's available in lucite, is a dark transparent red like Redmanol bakelite.

    Or better yet, from the "extra amber", if you have some?

    That would be perfect for me. Could you cut me a stem? I have the funds right away, if it's under $100 (you quoted $60 before, I know it might be more now).

    The stem on that Peterson is the "orange amber" acrylic Vermont Freehand sells? And on that cigar holder?

    Wondering how close their "Orange Amber" comes. I don't want a metallic or pearlescent sheen.

    I find that it WAS indeed you with whom I discussed getting a stem cut! I have this tiny meerschaum; the stem is saddle-type with very sharply-squared shoulders. I glued it back together, but you can see the large chip missing. I had hoped that either a color similar to the original amber, or a...

    Where do I get some of that acrylic? A few years ago, I was talking with someone here (maybe you?) about re-stemming a little antique meer I have with a tiny diamond saddle stem. I would LOVE to have that acrylic color for it, for whoever can make a proper stem.

    The "Wanted" or "Where to Buy" Pipe Thread

    Just a few things I'm still looking for: Early ornate lathe-turned H. Tibbe & Son Missouri Meerschaums that have a one- or two-section reed mouthpiece. Specifically the long No. 2, shorter No. 2 1/2 (pictured is a variant with the No. 2 flat tip instead of the usual acorn nut, and a windcap) or...

    Paul Fischer Meerschaum Pipes

    I've heard of (and seen) counterfeit Gustave Fischer pipes (Sr. & Jr. of New York) These, which were much older and by people unrelated to Paul Fischer of Boston, have had fakes made. Ben Rapaport wrote about pipes with a fancy pot metal shank connection and engraving saying they were carved by...

    Real Lattice And It's Benefits

    I call them "true" and "false" lattice. I nearly always like the former, and often like the latter. In my opinion, the only time it will really matter is in the case of some 1970s pipes, branded by Golden Horn as "Galax-Air" but made by other companies too, which have a lattice of small, round...

    How Do Yanik Figural Pipes Smoke?

    I have two Yanik figurals. I can only speak to these, but both have very good drilling & draw.

    My klutziness strikes again! Amber is fragile...

    Bumping this back to the top. I sent Rustie another PM just today, but he said "give me afew weeks" and I never heard back (and that was nearly two years ago). I got busy, too. Does anyone here know anyone else who can cut a stem like this out of acrylic, with the SHARP shoulders it has? (See...

    Only Yanik Would Carve Something Like This

    Yes, a lot of Yanik's work is based on antique pipes. I think he does plenty of his own designs as well. I haven't seen anyone else do complex, latticeworked floral designs as well as he does. The hatching dragon I have is not based on any antique I know of, and while a skull in a skeletal hand...
