I recently picked up a Kaywoodie Flame Grain 99S saddle stem bulldog as a companion to the 99B bulldog that I purchased from SSJones about a year ago and noticed that the 99S has a much bigger bowl in external dimensions than the 99B. Both pipes have identical shank stamping, and identical 4 hole, small ball, unstamped stingers. I was wondering if this was a common difference between the two styles or if the size of the bowls changed over time?
Any Kaywoodie gurus floating around the board?
PS- I passed on a 4 digit Super Grain 99 saddle that was in decent shape except for the thin wood above the upper bulldog groove which was chipped away for about a quarter of the circumference of the pipe. I'm thinking I should go back and get that one. Kaywoodie pipes can be seductive.
