80 Year Old Kaywoodie Restoration

[ssjones]

Just finished this 01 Yacht shape this evening, a relatively easy restoration. I was pleased to find the 4-hole stinger intact, which allowed me to date the pipe as being made between 1932 and 1941 (small stinger ball was used after 1931, "Drinkless" only script, no Patent number was used up to 1941)

By Al Jones This is the first Kaywoodie restoration that I’ve completed in quite a few years. This one came in a group of pipes sold on Ebay. I was pretty excited when the package arrived and…

@ssjones great job as always!

It looks like the outer rim of the bowl was chipped up, but its all smooth now. Very nice work on a elegant pipe shape.
