Kaywoodie Flame Grain - How Old is This Thing?

[condorlover1]

Any idea how old this pipe is? I am curious as I received it as a gift. Probably will never smoke it but its the thought that counts. It has the most amazing 'stinger' I have ever seen. Thoughts gentlemen?

It’s late 1940s early 50s. They switched the clover to the side in the 50s.

Old Kaywoodies smoke quite well, enjoy.
