I'd be interested in a Stanwell.

A simple request! I believe you can be accommodated.

Edit to add:
After work I'll get some things up based on comments so far.

First up, a Wally Frank(prrrobably Masterrrcraaaft) cased Meerschaum, hinge functions. Genuine Amber, orific bit, assuming 40's, 14k band. Stem is snug, left slightly underclocked to illustrate, will overclock but can hold position firmly throughout it's range. Clenches just fine. Airway has been slightly adjusted to bring it closer to modern preference. Will take a cleaner with no resistance. Lighting at the new place is not terribly accommodating, tried to capture it's character the best I could. And it's chock full of it.

Now a Falcon with some chrome patches worn off and a Meerschaum bowl which I believe is of the African variety. Decent chamber size, should meet the Padres approval, especially for a Falcon. Stem is clean. Bowl was salvaged from another frame it had seized onto, took some doing to get it off the old and finagling to get it seated right on this one, wouldn't recommend swapping but bowl easily threads on/off this frame.

March Meer Madness is around the corner folks. These look like great pipes for someone who wants to participate and is meerless.

[mention]Thelonious monkfish[/mention] , did I miss the pricing? I might have overlooked it?

$Reasonable offers? Maybe some bartering...
