Looking for cob info

[huffelpuff]

Anyone have any data on how to date MM cobs based on the stickers? Also when did they stop using screw in bits?

Thanks
Jim

I think the best way for you is to Missouri Meerschaum themselves. They are very friendly and helpfull people

I'd you do, start a thread in the pipe history section. It will be good to have that Ingo in the archive.

Heard back from MM today. Unfortunately there is no way to date their pipes using the labels. They do all their dating by matching to the old catalogs. They were able to tell me that screw in bits would have been in use from the 1930's-50's. Bone would be older than synthetic. It's not a lot to work with but I hope it's some help to others.

Good sleuthing.

Propose moving this to the "Pipe History" area? <img class="emojione" alt="?" title=":shrug:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f937.png?v=2.2.7"/>

Kyle I posted this info in the pipe history section. Hope it's some help to you guys. If I find out anything more I will update in both areas.
