Need advice. Tryin to help a Lady get her Grandfathers pipe,

[DustyRoundup]

So I have a client , that kept bringing up her Grandfathers pipe,,, and she brought it to show me, she said she thought it was probably a cheapie, made out of plastic. I did some research, and i think its Meerschaum, and i think its pretty darn old ! Anyhow, the amber stem is broke, and i told her i bet i could find someone to replace it with a stem that would almost match. She said that would be awesome , so she could display the pipe in her home.....
I figured you guys would know of someone that would do a good job.
and if any of you have any insight into how old, or the value of the pipe , that would be cool too
Here it is

Call Tim West. He's a great guy and a gentleman.

If he can't fix it he will know someone who can.

I would send it to Precision Pipe Repair. LL does some fine work.

That's a class-act pipe. Worth getting an acrylic "amber look" stem attached to it. 8)

Keep us updated on the search/repair!

Tim West is a great guy, but from what I've heard he's been backed up with repairs. Anyone know anything about this? I only bring it up because some pipe makers on this site might make a new stem and get it back a lot faster than Tim.

The last time I spoke to him he said he was caught up.

But, that was a couple of months ago.
