Kaywoodie was founded in 1915 by the KB&B company, who had been making briar pipes since around 1900. The Kaywoodie brand was created to compete with the more established brands of the time, such as Dunhill and Comoy. **GRADING & MARKS**
- Kaywoodie standard stamp
- Reddish sandblast finish
- Vulcanite tapered stem with fishtail mouthpiece
- No filter **SHAPE ANALYSIS**
The bent billiard shape is a classic design, with a rounded bowl and a slightly bent shank. This particular example has a long, tapering shank and a well-defined transition to the bowl. **BRIAR & FINISH**
The briar is finished in a reddish sandblast, which highlights the natural grain of the wood. The sandblast also helps to reduce the heat of the smoke, making for a cooler smoking experience. **CONDITION REPORT**
Condition: very good - see the photographs; no cracks, chips, or repairs seen; some light oxidation on the rim; slight tooth marks on the stem. Worldwide shipping and professional sanitation on every estate pipe.
