I picked up this small meerschaum Cutty on the bay for a song because the stem was destroyed despite the pipe only having been smoked once or twice. As far as I can tell the original stem was celluloid, at least I think it was. I have a large quantity of very old Catalin rod stock that I’ve decided to use for pipe stems and since a lot of these old early 20th century cuttys came Catalin stems that’s just what I’m gonna use em for. I cut this one to the exact same dimensions as the old one or at least as close as I could. I also drilled it with an orific button just like the original had. I was able to reuse the original bone tenon. Luckily it was cut with a common thread pitch.
