So first let me say that the cat and dog still need cleaning up But this is the set so far.
From left to right we have first the tiger, not supposed to exist then 2 mephistos followed by the skull, the second rarest of the 5 that were previously known and finally the first prophet.
This one is a little blurry, I still need to work on the whole pictures with my phone since the camera is acting up. First off we have the 2 prophets followed by 2 sultans, also not supposed to exist, and last 2 noblemen.
In the this shot you can see both the noblemen again followed by daniel boone and lastly the dog which is the rarest of the 5 styles
The last shot are my 3 medico mephistos who according to Bill over at sm frank were not supposed to exist either.
So in summary up until I found the cat, the sultan, daniel boone and the medico mephistos there were only supposed to be 5 different briar figurals. The nobleman, the prophet and mephisto being the "common" ones with the skull and dog being the rarest. As far as I can figure the kaywoodies that are outside the catalog offerings were perhaps try outs for the meerschaum figurals which were offered in a greater variety of carvings and the medicos were perhaps for one reason or another deemed not good enough to bear the kaywoodie name but to nice to be tossed so they were a sort of second in the figural line. In my research and diggings there are possibly 6 other briar offerings. A cow, a sheik, a paul bunyon/charelton heston looking one and 3 others that I am waiting on more pictures to tell if they are unique or not. I would love to hear from anyone who has one unique to these or even the same as I am always trying to dig up more info on them.
