Please Help ID this Pipe

I found this pipe cleaning up at my great uncles house getting ready for an estate sale. I have searched and found out that the C.P.F. Stands for Colossus Pipe Factory. The only other writing that I can make out is on the side and possibly says French Briar. There was also a note in the box with the pipe that said it was my great uncles grandfathers pipe. My uncle was 92 when he passed and his grandfather was born in the 1870’s is the best I can find out. I would appreciate any information about this pipe. Thanks!

From the article:

I have seen pipes with both the C.P.F. logo and KB&B logo on them that date to pre-1900. This may have been a way to let the public now that the companies were affiliated. As far as I can tell, the C.P.F. brand was discontinued sometime in the 1910-1920 range.

CPF French Briar is right on. Looks early. Like 1900ish. Stem might not be the original. Is the bit opening round hole, oval or a slot?
Better yet, take a pic.

Is that burn through to the left of the stamp?

At least you know the pipe is at least 100 years old.

It looks like it could be all the way through

Looks original to me. It’s a little ragged but could probably be saved. Or you could just enjoy handling it.

I got it because I knew when it said grandfather pipe and tobacco, I knew it was old. It’s amazing that it’s at least over 100 years old. I’ll be taking it to family events to show it off! Thanks for your input!
