I dug this out of the boxes the other day to share with Al on another forum. I picked this up at a local junktique venue for next to nothing back in September. Had the box, sock, and the printed materials with it. I'd been wanting a Hand Made for some time, but I could never find one that I liked. I'm thinking maybe pics just don't do these things justice, or maybe I needed to see specimen in real life to appreciate the beauty.

A Signet and Vintage Woodie
Morning pipe has seen alot of EMP
My work Woodies, that's not burnout on the bowl but a reminder to mind your pipe when sweating copper lines. The bottom used to be a White Briar but I gave it a light sand blast at work and keep it that way just for kicks
It's been a couple of years since I posted on this thread, and now have a few more.
First a White Coral that is now a Brown Coral.
Then there's this panel apple? tomato? #5123C 4 hole.
Lastly, a couple of years ago a generous forum member sent me an old Drinkless Kaywoodie Panel pipe #28 4 hole push stem. The pipe had been topped or damaged, but it still smokes great.
Kaywoodie 2nd line of Devonshire. Four hole stinger stamped drinkless and a push tenon. So dates from 1924-1931. A red clover inlay.

^ I can't believe you snagged that pipe for under $25 shipped! That's a score if I ever saw one. I'm really not familiar with Devonshire. Can you identify what exactly on the pipe didn't make it up to Kaywoodie standard? The red clover is awesome!
