KB& B pipe needs dating

[teamhavoc28]

Guys & Gals, Does anyone have a good way to date a KB& B ripley pipe? I checked grayfox & The Collectors guide to kaywoodies. No luck there. Marty Pulver said it's made during the inter war period but I'd like to pin down a more specific year if possible. I'll present photos when it arrives. Any tips would be appreciated.

Dating Kaywoodies and KBBs is notoriously difficult to do accurately. Once you have photos, we may be able to help.

Here's the pics. They bottom side reads KBB in circles with ripley italian bruyere.

If you could get some closer photos of the stamping, and pull the stem out, that'd be great.

Tried for about a half hour with the camera i have to get better shots of the stamping no dice. Will be adding the stem out in just a sec.

Well, I'll try and find a date.

Thanks so much Collin. I just figured it was a good pick up for nine bucks shipping included.

Sorry, I've got nothing. Looks like a nice pipe, regardless.
