    Cracked Vintage Amber Stem

    You did a nice job. Now , if you want to fill in any gaps or spaces learn the technique of super glue and baking soda combo, from YouTube. It fills in spaces with a very strong Bond.

    An Old Sir Bruce I'd Like to Show

    Dito, to everything you wrote . I would love a pipe like this. How does it smoke compared with the snob set, you probably have, in your collection, like a Dunhill or other ? Nothing against Dunhill would love to have one.

    1950s Short Film Re: Wilke Pipe Shop--Blending & Pipemaking

    I just bought some tobacco from them over the phone. They're not in New York anymore and it's taking a while to get it. Does anyone know at the very end of the film, about the comment not using a varnish, because the pipe will taste sweeter? Is that a varnish on the outside of the pipe,?

    Polishing Smooth Pipes

    Polishing Smooth Pipes
