IIRC, the Mission Briar pipes were made by KB&B during or near to WWII. At that time they were not affiliated with Kaywoodie. But if you used Kaywoodie as a descriptor for searching on ebay, I'm sure nobody would object. Hard to tell from the pic, but I guess in this set they decided to provide examples of their various shapes and finishes. Never seen one like it. Probably go for a couple hundred or so.
Here are some better photos. I encouraged Dmack to take some specific shots, showing the full condition, etc.
I rarely see Mission Briar pipes, much less a full set. Depending on the condition of the bowls/stems, I agree with Xrundog, they could fetch a couple hundred bucks on Ebay. With the proper photography, etc.
They do appear to be unsmoked. I'd be interested to hear what Bill Feurbach thinks about the set.
