Question About This Kaywoodie Pipe
You could be right. This shape is shown in the 1946 Kaywoodie Pipe chart, but I'm sure they could have been making the same shape up through the 1950s. I had an English made Kaywoodie years ago, but it had a regular push stem. I wonder who made this pipe with the screw in stinger stem in...- agnosticpipe

Question About This Kaywoodie Pipe
I've been digging through some old pipes that I've had for years that needed some restoring. I cleaned up with this Kaywoodie that I've been trying to date to some degree. The #83 shape shows up in the 1936 pipe guide from Kaywoodie as a slim octagon. However it's stamped Standard too which...- agnosticpipe

Deeeep Sandblast on an Old BBB Thorneycroft
Somehow I forgot to show a pic of the whole pipe, so here it is if you're interested. (this is after I smoked it though.) Funny how using the flash makes the pipe look more red than the dark brown that is normally.- agnosticpipe

Deeeep Sandblast on an Old BBB Thorneycroft
Ok, I dug out this old BBB OwnMake Thorneycroft that I've had for a few years that was dirty and had a very small crack in the shank. Due to my worsening arthritis in my hands I haven't worked on pipes in a couple of years, but I felt the urge to try and do something with this pipe because of...- agnosticpipe

Hackman Cause of Death
The whole thing seems sad to me. Living alone is one thing, but making sure you're ok is another. I live alone in the country, but I have family living within 1000 ft. of my house and they check on me regularly. After my dog died about 2 yrs. ago, I decided not to get another pet for the time...- agnosticpipe

Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)
After looking at these knives for a while, I decided I wanted to get a lightweight assisted opening knife with a pocket clip. Without spending a lot of money for a carry knife I came up with this Kershaw Appa with a 2 3/4" blade for about $17. I'm not disappointed, it's a great little knife...- agnosticpipe

What are You Watching? [2025] Please Rate 1-5
This French show is one of the best crime drama series I've ever seen. Each plot is quite complex and it's not like you see the end coming as with many other series like this. It also has the most realistic portrayal of an autistic person I've seen in a long time, along with the little humorous...- agnosticpipe

My Favorite Tamper
I've had a lot of tampers over the years, but for the last 5 years this bamboo 8deco is the only one I use anymore. Long enough for any bowl, and the tamp end is cup shaped with holes in it so you can draw through it as you tamp. Not the greatest looking but works better than any of the others I...- agnosticpipe

Good Ole Pipe
Usually Sterling on a pipe or a band means that the band is indeed sterling silver. US pipe makers did buy sterling bands from the UK to put on their pipes, and that is why the bands sometimes have hallmarks from England. Also US pipe makers sometimes would put imported briar on the pipe to act...- agnosticpipe

What Are You Listening To - March, 2025
Having just read an autobiography by this lovely lady, I decided to pick out one of her records to listen to. I bought this used off eBay about a year ago and it wasn't mentioned, nor did I notice in the photo that it was signed by her, so I was a little surprised to see that it was. I don't...- agnosticpipe

Interesting reading. My stamping is pretty much the same as the pipes in those articles, but the hallmarks on the silver band are too far worn away to be identifiable. They could have been British sterling marks but I'll never know. But like the pipe reborn briars has but without any hallmarks...- agnosticpipe

What are You Reading Now?
I've always liked this musicians piano playing. After learning a little about her I found this book called "Wild Harmonies" she had written about her early life and how she got into being a pianist. She definitely on the spectrum you could say as she had pretty crippling OCD when she was young...- agnosticpipe

Good Ole Pipe
I'm pretty sure that the stamping that says Imported Briar means it's from the US. Also Petersons and Parkers would have a country of manufacture stamp on them, ie. Ireland, or England. I figure this could be any number of US pipe manufacturers from years past. No way to know for sure, but it...- agnosticpipe

Good Ole Pipe
Well, I'm sure it's not a Dr. Grabow. Here's another pic of the other side of the pipe. No spade and not a replacement stem that I can tell. Also, Dr. Grabow had aluminum shank adornments rather than silver. It does look a little like one though as far as the shape is concerned.- agnosticpipe
