Hi,
Someone offered me this pipe..have searched everywhere yet i can't seem to find any reference (there are few ads on the Kayos with similar square bowl on the net) but nothing else.
Appreciate the knowledge and input.
Thanks

I have seen quite a few Lorenzo made pipes with the "Old Briar" stamping.

yeah i have seen some references to Lorenzo..so it is probably a Lorenzo..
Will skip it then. I had a Nouvelle Vague Lorenzo already.
Thanks

Kayos is also a tobacco shop in Romania. Don't know if there's any connection. It could be a house brand made by someone else, possibly Lorenzo as mentioned earlier in the thread.

I would say it is a house brand made by who ever for some retailer.

The photos you have taken are very good. I don't know the brand, but from what I can see the pipe has a lot of putty fillings, it was polished without much attention to detail and the mouthpiece was so rusty that when polishing it they removed several millimeters and it was noticeably smaller than the stem. It's a pipe worth maybe ten dollars.

Yes i think this is a low end pipe, i bought several other pipe from the same seller (MGM1912, Sullivan Powell, and Sav Lumberman) yet this one is not of the same class. Most probably a house pipe, and bent stem-shank
