 Mr. Hener (Product Line Director - The White Spot) told us that they did and still do structural repairs like cracked stems, and plug bowls (if possible), and those repairs are simply amazing these days. In case they are replacing a broken stem or repairing a shank, they replicate the original stampings that were on the pipe before to keep it as original as possible. They don't add any stamp to register this service, as many believe. Occasionally, though, weird things happen.<br>
-In the past, there are some pipes that the bands have been added to over the stamps, evidencing that it was a later addition. Contrary to what we believed, this type of addition was executed in the factory and approved by quality control, as Mr Wood relates. This kind of band addition over the stamps does not occur these days.
