66 (Streamliner EZ set)

Four digit shape numbers come in sometime around 1929-30.

PAT. APP. FOR. Usually dates to around 1929-1931 and is gone by 1932-33.

So I’d say your pipe is firmly 1929-1931

That's a carbeurator.

Thanks for the info. Pipedia said Suntan ( color) started in 1936 but the pipe is dark walnut. The site is a great reference but over the years have corrected same because I knew the makers. Also the second drill is inside the bowl. Maybe needed because of the very narrow oval bowl with the large ball stinger restricting draw.

Somewhere around 1928 and 1929.

The key is the "patent app for" on the stinger. Another clue is the KBB in a clover. That was dropped in 1932 or 1933.

Again, that's a carburetor, a very Kaywoodie thing.

I was thinking what @RustiePyles CPG came up with, as your markings match my 29-31 Suntan Rock Ambera 7204’s.

Operas and streamliners had dual draft holes to compensate for the oval bowl.

Sorry but my antique cell phone coupled with shaky arthritic fingers are not up to the task for the fine markings on this one..All my questions have been answered here with less confusion caused by Pipedia

Algerian Bruyere

That pipe made of aged Algerian was light tan when new, and will color to brown, very quickly.

Keep smoking it and old Algerian briar pipes look like this Tom Howard.

The Kaywoodie is listed as having a Suntan finish, so a darker and warmer stain, not light tan, counselor.
