[elmor]

Hello. I am a new here and connection with crownpipes minimal. Only remember my grandfather usin crownpipes. Now i found from basement pipe with CM marking.
As I found from google ot seems to be Charles Maas bit thats all I ca find.
Maybe here in proffessional community is someone who can identify and give little backround what it could be.
Unfortunately it is broken. Is there possibility to repair it?

thanks in advance.

Welcome!!

Nice pipe it is indeed a Charles Maas. The hallmark says it’s from 1902.

The stem can be replaced. Other Forum members can pop in with their recommendations for stem repair.

Welcome, from Central Texas.
I would not attempt the repair personally, but I know others here do that well. I'm sure you'll get some suggestions.

120 year old pipe and the stummel looks grand! How does the interior of the bowl and shank look?

I’m not really specialist but seems like it has not been used that much

Beautiful Charles Maas. I have a few CM/crown pipes and I love them. Keep us in the loop with the repair, I’d be really interested to see how they approach the screw in mortise, whether this is sanded flush and a push stem is used, or whether they match the threads on a new tenon. Cool about your grandads connection with the make

That's a rather nice vintage pipe. I would seriously consider having a reputable professional pipe repairman do the repairs. Send photos to a prospective repairman and get an estimate. I think it could be put back in shape for $100 to $150, and be well worth it. Maybe Forums members can recommend repairmen who have this level of skill. I don't think you want to make this a first DIY project on pipe renovation. Once repaired, I wouldn't hesitate to smoke it.

Maybe reach some carver inside EU or, will you sell that pipe?

 

[elmor]

Im not sure what to do with it. Since I have not yet smoker then selling came into my mind after repairing.

 

[OzPiper]

I know a very good restorer in the UK.
PM me if you're interested and I will pass on his details.
