Repairing Outer Shell of Meerschaum
The top one, the bulldog(?) Is African meer. I think it's beautiful. The stem needs work. Once they all arrive, I'll inspect them a lot closer. When they arrive I look for cracks that couldn't be seen in the pictures, I asked they said no cracks. Make sure the stem comes out. I shine a light...- Rigidman
