my understanding is that the actual block quality was better back then,whether this was all the block was better or the quantity of high quality blocks was better
I dont know why other than I have read that the best meerschaum comes from deep down in the mines.

Paul, in my opinion 100% that's all antique. Silver is, amber is, case is, case fits pipe like a glove = it's original. New stem is lovely, who made it?

Interestingly Geoff thinks the reason the original amber stem was broken was because the silver ring on the stem wasnt fully dressed level with the meerschaum and someone had tried to push it on further by screwing the stem on hard.hence the cracked stem at the tenon end
