Whoever bought it better like it as-is, too.
The work required to make a correct Short + Fat + Bent replacement stem is insane.

Nice looking pipe! 1923 or earlierI think Beefeater is pleased.
Sasieni One Dot Patent "Rustic" Bulldog Pipe- Fishtail Logo- Shape #18 -NICE! | eBay
Here's a sweet Sasieni Patent "Rustic" Bulldog. The shape is #18. Patent # 150221/20. This pipe does have a few light toothmarks as seen. The bowl is smooth and sound. Sadly no "Stinger". Among those pipe was the Barling "Niblick" as seen on the pipedia.org site.www.ebay.com
Here's a shape 04 Dunhill that I bid on because it was so rough that I figured I could do anything I wanted to it without hurting it: Dunhill 1983 42041 Chestnut
The main thing I wanted to try was amber CA glue to fill the dents in the stem. It worked well enough that I am doing the same on another Cumberland with similar problems. I knew in advance it would have to be seriously topped, but I thought I might like this shape with a shorter bowl, and I do. I didn't want to take it down any further than shown, so it's a touch thin at the front and back of the bowl. Bottom pic shows the bowl after scrubbing.

Why did this go for so little?

This is not interesting, it’s just frustrating.
Amazing job ! Suppose the topping was done on the board ?Here's a shape 04 Dunhill that I bid on because it was so rough that I figured I could do anything I wanted to it without hurting it: Dunhill 1983 42041 Chestnut

So amber CA glue works good for cumberland ?
I'd much like to see a "before" picture of the dents on the stem .
Sorry for your loss, I've been there myself more than once
Infuriating and frustrating.
Damn that sucks, but… It has been discussed ad nauseam around here that 100% of pipes sent global shipping from GB will be confiscated without fail.
Notice how much is sanded off the shank to make the fit ?
It needs a "reblast". Otherwise the blast is stunning and not ruined by a buffer. The shape is I believe "off catalogue" . Rim is fine too.
The odd thing is I ordered 2 from the same seller. They pictured the meer specifically but not the Peterson Star that purchased as well. Here to hoping at least one pipe with show up.
Thanks! I start with a large piece of 400 grit held steady on a very flat smooth counter top, going to wet-sanding after the initial pass.
I suspected that amber CA glue would work on Cumberlands, but wanted to test a really awful stem so that I could try filling, building up, etc. I had to build up the left edge of the top, and had a large 'pond' to fill on the back that starts in the middle (doesn't show well in pic).
Here is the stem (top on left, bottom on right) after scrubbing clean with a Magic Eraser/alcohol. The stem got the entire micromesh progression. The last pic shows the stem before I cleaned it - you can see the 'pool' area better (right-side pic).
