[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 457683, member: 2140"] My understanding is they haven't had cobs large enough to even think about these shapes in 30 years. Only recently have they started making bigger pipes again. Like the Mark Twain one they're doing now. FTRPLT thank you sir. Banjos look like they came out of a museum. Mine was bought knowing it was going to need a full on rebuilding. If you look closely the shank on mine had lost all most all of its plaster fills. One wrong tweak of the material and it would have snapped. The area where it joins the bowl was also badly deteriorated and took many layers of fill material. Now and again you'll see other badly abused ones on the Bay. Some can be fixed and brought back to like others are just too far gone but might provide you with parts. Jim [/QUOTE]
