    How To Tell If A Pipe is Clay Or Meer

    CPF specialized in producing meerschaums up until about 1910. It was most likely made in the U.S. but there is no way to be 100% sure.

    How To Tell If A Pipe is Clay Or Meer

    I retract my previous statement, it’s definitely not a Golden Princess 312 as seen below, it’s a clay. As a very low value clay pipe. I will take it off your hands for the overly generous price of $75.

    It’s probably full of asbestos and radon anyway.

    How To Tell If A Pipe is Clay Or Meer

    Peterson made LOADS of meerschaums. Mostly African block… And that is definitely not a clay.

    Cough, cough… Well… actually Peterson made just that from about 1896 to 1940. 😉 But the above pipe is not one of them.

    Custom Amber PLip Cut Stem

    They’re all from the same rod stock, since it’s swirl it varies a little from stem to stem. The 20B was cut with the swirl facing out as opposed to on a diagonal or facing up. That’s why it looks a little different. * correction the bog oak is catalin.

    They vary wildly, they were made for a long time. But for the most part they tend to be thin in the bite zone. Resistance to oxidation varies from pipe to pipe.

    Lovats, lumbermen, and liverpools in general are less common than other straight billiard family shapes. There’s a good Lovat thread on here somewhere.

    How would you fix this crack?

    A stainless tube mortised into either end and epoxied would fix it. But that means either snapping the shank all the way off or reaming it down the entire length with very long hand reamer. Like this The ID of the tube needs to match the ID of the draft hole or you’ll create a bottleneck that...
