A Little Work on an Old Kaywoodie

[MilesDavis]

Here's a nice old Kaywoodie "SuperGrain" #5130 in the shop. Nice, clear stamping. Four-hole fitment with DRINKLESS engraved upon it. I didn't do a major overhaul of this one, as it was not in bad shape. Here are some before-and-afters:

An old, beat up pipe can leave me kind of blue - but you just said 'so what' and applied some bitches brew - like a sorcerer...

Good for you! I'm quite fond of old beat up pipes, and have had lots of fun restoring them.

I enjoy imagining the history of old pipes like this. Seeing as how it's nearly as old as my father (92yrs today). what sort of fellow smoked it? What tobacco did he use? As the stem was relatively clear on the inside, it seems to have been well cared for.

It seems to me there used to be more bend in the stem. Or atleast that's how I'd prefer it!

I took it for a test drive last evening. It's really a stubby pipe! I think a longer "bendier" stem would suit it better.
