Today one of my pipes got a chipped stem.  Can anyone recommend a place to send it for a replacement? |

Super glue wouldn't do it. The side of the button chipped off, leaving a ragged edge. I thought about filing it down, but I think the chip is too big.

It's worth noting that it is neither an acrylic or a vulcanite stem. The pipe in question is an inexpensive Stanwell with some kind of cheap plastic stem.

I have had good service with briarville.com and walkerpiperepair.com. I know there are several others out there as well that could do a stem job.  |
