It is just a triviality, but I felt like sharing
Suppose you restored the stem logo of your pipe by filling it with whatever material.
Like liquid paper, Crayola etc. and it just looks too white and you feel like giving it an extra touch to
make it look a little more "seasoned " , or authentic, or older etc.
Give it a most careful touch with a cotton swab moistened with strong coffee , or black tea.
I tried it on one of those intolerable hot melted stem logo of a Barling's make ; these logos darken a little over time and it makes them look so classy.
Sadly a fresh filled one looks so ... well "fresh" if you take my meaning.
So much better now.
