    The antique meerschaum that’s haunted me for 15 years

    Show Us Your Sasieni Pipes

    Received this transitional bulldog as a stem-less stummle from another forum member. The new stem is hand cut acrylic, the dot spacing is a little off but since I’m keeping it I don’t really care.

    Help With Peterson Sherlock Holmes Hallmarks

    @Dshift, Petersons with silver bands and no hallmarks is unfortunately a more common occurrence than you would think and it stems from a few different reasons. 1. The British government does not require assay marks or purity marks on any silver that is made for export. If your pipes were made...

    A Little Humor for the Day 2025

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Your no-hallmark Deluxe’s are 1947-49. Not having hallmarks is pretty common for post war/ pre-republic pipes. I’d say the vast majority of them are not hallmarked. The British government had better things to do than police silver purity, like rebuilding from the blitz. And anything made for...

    Mason Jars With a Latch

    I use a bunch of bail jars, but replace the gaskets with silicone gaskets. A good quality bail jar with a silicone seal will keep tobacco just as well as a mason jar. But I do not use them for aging, only decanting/regular usage. Just like anything quality is a spectrum, and bail jars can be...

    Not Sure If You Should Put Your Meerschaum Back in Case or On Rack?

    I have loads of meers with no cases, they go in the stands with all my briars. If I have a case it goes back in the case and the case goes in a stand. I’ve never seen any detrimental effects of keeping in either place.

    Has anyone started mining and selling this amber. I can see it being the next mammoth ivory, all the carvers are going to be using “pelagic Japanese sub sea tsunami amber”…

    Yet another old Peterson!

    You are correct, 1945-47 for circle com MADE IN IRELAND. The chimney or condenser is not integrated into the stem though. It’s bone, it’s screwed in. But it’s probably seized up by now, I wouldn’t try to unscrew it. Nice pipe!

    Cleaned up the case a little as well.

    Thank you. It’s from the original stem, I just forgot to snap a pic before I removed it.

    Show Off Your Kaywoodie Pipes

    Several years ago at my first pipe show (Kansas City) I was gifted this Kaywoodie Matched Grian cased pair by Tony Solderman. They were in a pretty sad state at the time, the Liverpool had been shortened at the shank to remove a crack and turned into a billiard and both pipes had been buffed to...

    Meerschaum Pipe, Can I or Can't I use Everclear Inside the Bowl and Shank?

    Well… how else would you do it? I just jam it in there like a golf ball washer and go to town. 🤣
