2 Meerschaum Pipes

Good News - I have fixed the small eagle claw meerschaum I won in a live auction - and today I put an offer to a shop owner for a Meerschaum Pipe ( a lot less than the asking price) - and they said YES....

Please, no Tape ! Use nail enamel ( clear ) or Beeswax !

Very nice Meerschaum, indeed..;)

Cheers,

@ThePipePurist I would have thought Nail Enamel would dry hard and I would not be able to get the stem to unscrew.. I can see thta the soft beeswax would work - and I can get some beeswax for furnature at our local DIY store - please would you tell me more about the Nail Enamel and how that works.. my wife has loads of it..LOL..

@Puffingthebriar Jimmy - I've been told that the Small claw i fixed dates back to the 1800's- so it's got a bit of history and age behind it - looking forward to bringing it back to life and smoke from it - the new one has a Very thick Stem - and is difficult to clasp in the teeth - unless you are right on the tip of it - but I am going to enjoy using it - thanks Martyn

@MojoMilt Thanks Frank - I will have to start smoking it soon to see how long it take to get some colour into it - years I have been told .......

@ThePipePurist .. apply the enamel, few ! Clean the screw before ( Alc. 60% ) and let dry 24 Hours at the minimum ! Nail enamel is easily to cleans up ..;)

Good luck mate,
