Kirsten "B"?

[Humblepipe]

I have not seen much discussion about Kirsten's on the forum lately. I do not have much experience with them myself, but have acquired a pipe that may or may not be a Kirsten. I know (from research) that Kirsten did make a "B" pipe. This pipe has only on stamping on it.. the letter "B". Any thoughts?

Just in case years from now, someone stumbles on to this random post... just heard directly from Kirsten. They inform this is not one of their pipes... Mystery NOT solved.

What's the threads look like? Kirsten had a very small male aluminum thread on the bowl. Therefore the bowls were part aluminum and part briar.

The bowl is 100% wood (briar, I think).

looks like a water pipe

Nope, not a Kirsten. Kirsten's are all pretty similar in theme and quite distinctive as a whole. They smoke pretty well too!

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I think this might be another mystery pipe.

I have no idea what it is, but Kirsten it is not. In the 1950s and 1960s, there were perhaps hundreds of "system pipes." SmokingMetal is a website with galleries sorted by manufactorer or by type, and I don't recall seeing this there, but it's worth combing through.

A little late in this thread - agree with everyone that it is not a Kirsten "B". B stands for Beau Geste [beautiful gesture], the only Kirsten with a double name... And it looks like this:
