We’re actually looking at the story backwards which makes it a bit confusing. The background to the patenting of the pipe by Charles Lyon is told on Pipedia. The part that’s missing is what happened at the start of 1925. As demand exploded for the pipe as a function of Dawes’ campaign it clearly became necessary for an experienced manufacturer to take over production and sales; and that’s where KB&B enters the picture. See this trade snippet from the January 10, 1925 issue of the USTJ:jguss:
Thank-you, Sir!

Good call. I concur.Based on the stylized clover and ampersand I’d say it’s old, late teens early 20’s maybe.

Any idea of what the "fire proof lining" was made?
By looking at the pictures in the link that @huntertrw posted earlier in the thread that shows a smooth version, the answers to your questions appear to be no and turned as one piece.That Cabinet pipe had a fixed bowl, unlike the Lyon.
Did they drill a hole downwards from the filled point on the shank?
And was the shank separately attached to the bowl, or turned as one piece?
