Coloring Meerschaum Pipes by Machinery

[fred]

Here's an interesting old article from the New York Times... Even back then,

there was the lament of things lost.

Yes, and also informative about some of the finer points of

waxing Meerschaums. He makes distinction between what results

can be expected in regards to quality of Block used for the Pipe.

Besides addressing new Pipes, he also discusses Pipes that have

be smoked by people who don't seem to understand how to go about

coloring them. As yet, I've not come across information on any

of the machines that were used to color Meerschaums.
