    Latest Pipe (Supposedly Early 1900s)

    Bought this estate pipe that is supposedly from the early 1900s (certainly looks to be that old), the amber stem is still in great shape and smokes perfectly! Got it for a steal since it was uncleaned/unrestored, only took a few hours work to get it back to near new condition

    Antique Knotted Rigol (Barnacle Boi Update)

    Thanks and sorry for the late reply! It probably is a bone tenon based on the replies I recieved on the previous post (and your response corrected me). So far from an amateur pipe smoker's perspective the pipe seems to smoke pretty alright, i haven't had any issues to write home about aside from...

    Any Tips on Restoring a (Potentially) 100 Year Old Meerschaum?

    These are more pictures of the case in case you were interested: Looking at the ad posted by greeneyes the hinges are in the exact same place (possibly just because it's a common hinge placement) and the round button on the lock are very similar. I messaged the seller but unfortunately they had...

    Any Tips on Restoring a (Potentially) 100 Year Old Meerschaum?

    Thanks for all of the information and the recommendations for who to send it to for restoration! You said you sold one to someone a few years back, did you have any history on that pipe? Was it antique? I'm just curious about when this design fell out of style, I'd like to believe that this pipe...

    Any Tips on Restoring a (Potentially) 100 Year Old Meerschaum?

    The first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was that it looked like something you'd pull up out of the ocean, but then my second thought was sheleighly

    I truly hope so too, hopefully the flaw is with the stem and not the pipe itself

    Wow so glad you found it! The similarity in shape to the one I purchased is kind of uncanny, any idea when this ad was printed?

    Any Tips on Restoring a (Potentially) 100 Year Old Meerschaum?

    Thanks for the insight! I've seen a few of your responses on some threads while I was perusing the forum the past couple of days. I'm 100% prepared to send it out to fit a new stem if it's feasible and just hope it wont end up costing me an arm and a leg. The (hopefully) surface scratches and...

    Thanks for the input! The tape scares me as well, I ordered this as a sort of gamble, either it's able to be/worth restoring or it makes a cool shelf ornament. Here's hoping for the best

    Any Tips on Restoring a (Potentially) 100 Year Old Meerschaum?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hey guys, I just found this forum and just joined (I apologize if this is in the wrong place)! So, I'm a theatre prop artisan by trade and I just recently got interested in expanding my work into restoring old pipes. I was browsing etsy and ebay...
