My meerschaum cutty pipe arrived yesterday:
Nice leather case with alligator pattern, clasp works wonderfully:
It was owned by a Mr. E. A. Daus:
Says finest quality "meer schaum"
I was hoping for an amber stem, but it appears to be acrylic. It screws in securely but not flush, I wonder if could add a small leather spacer?
The screw insert is some sort of plastic, bakelite perhaps?
Mr. Daus built up lots of (uneven) cake inside, not sure how to go about cleaning and restoring a meer, but any advice you guys can give would much appreciated! :worship:
