Hello, I enjoy reading about Kaywoodie pipes and those who collect them. Specifically the "carved heads".
I am carver Harry Visco's grandson and might clear some things for collectors.
There were other shapes carved then the ones I have read about. There is the Bison, Alligator, Bear, and Indian to mention a few. I spent many hours after school at the factory in the 1950s after school waiting for my grandfather to get off work. His brother and my father worked there also for a while. After retiring and moving to the seashore my grandfather painted sailing ships, and taught some art classes. He was always carving things for us grandchildren and I think we all have large collections of his work.
Nice to write about him. I will try to take some pictures of my pipes passed to me.
