I will post some pics in a bit, but it is this pipe here:
http://www.grayfoxonline.com/shape28c.html
Very lightly smoked, very light teeth chatter on stem, marked;
Kaywoodie

Standard
and
28C
has intact 4 hole stinger, and the Kaywoodie Clover sits on top of the stem, not the side. Stem is slightly underclocked, which I think was actually standard for the time.
Some rim charring, but no burnout. Can still see virgin briar at bottom of bowl.
Not sure what I want to do with this pipe, to be honest. Picked it up at an antique store, because it was there and I figured if I didn't want it, someone else might.
Also, an intact Kaywoodie box and catalog for an 86B shape.

That's kind of cool portascat, I think I would be sorta tempted to clean it up and put it in the rack.

What are you wanting for it?

 

[tokerpipes]

[lifeon2]

More than I paid for it....
Terrible answer, I know.
Truth is, I am in a conundrum. The pipe does little for me in terms of shape or size. I have 4 or 5, already, with that bowl size, with and without stingers.
However, it is still a very nice representative of the Kaywoodie pipe line, when they were in their halcyon years.
I have no right to place caveats or restrictions on a buyer of the pipe, but I would hate to see its stinger circumcised. Also, someone who had sole plans to "clean it up" and Ebay it off is not the buyer I am looking for. I could do that myself.
Someone looking for just another pipe in their rotation, well, I can do that, too.
Someone who is a true Kaywoodie fanatic, sort of an EJames of the Kaywoodie line, that is the guy who may end up with the pipe.
As you can see, I am difficult at times.

BTW, it is a "Drinkless" marked stinger.

 

[pawpaw]

[portascat]

Good deal. I was gonna suggest Collin. He loves the Kaywoodies. I have a 23C 2-Panel Apple that is great. I'm on a PAD freeze right now because I'm buying musical gear or I'd have got it (and about a dozen other pipes by now).

I wish every seller took pictures as detailed as that. Well done!
