Show Off Your Kaywoodie Pipes

I guess it could be a newer pipe and the circled T is for Thorn. Stinger looks approximately correct. Clear stem marks it as fairly modern though. Assuming the stem goes with it. Where’s a YB collector when you need one?

One sweet pipe, what shape number is it?

Sorry, it’s got no shape number. I don’t know if any Campuses do.

Here is my newest Kaywoodie. I found it a bruised and battered in an antique store and this is how it looks after some tlc. I know it was made between 1935-38, I know its called a Kohinoor, but for the life of me I cannot find a value for it. The search continues!

Very cool.
Intact stinger? Value on our beloved old Kaywoodies is all over the place.
With an intact stinger, someone may pay into triple digits for it, or not. Kind of depends where the moon cycle is and such…
There’s folks here that are way more “collectors” than me that may be able to lend a more objective approach to such a question.

Yes, sorry forgot the stinger

That’s a pretty nice example. I used to collect Kaywoodies so I understand dating and nomenclature. I don’t have a lot these days but will still grab the occasional pipe on ebay that I find interesting. So I’m kind of paying attention to what they go for. I’ve bought several rarer pipes for what I thought were really low prices. And I’ve paid more than I wanted to in a couple instances because sometimes the question is: When will you see another one? And I’ve seen some wildly high auction prices I did not participate in. So value is difficult to determine. So auctioning that pipe would probably be your best chance at a good pay day should you want to sell it. You need a wild eyed Kaywoodie collector. That’s the best way to find one. Unless someone PMs you with a crazy offer.

That’s good advice, thank you for that. I’m not not looking to win the lottery here I promise you, I’d just like to know market value. That will tell me if it joins my personal collection which I think it may. I fall in love with every pipe I work on. This one just hits harder than most because it seems so unique. Who knows maybe it’s not.

Oh, it’s fairly unusual. You can buy a nice vintage billiard or Apple anytime. The panels are a little rarer. Especially older ones. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Kohinoor on eBay. If you like the rarer oddballs, then that’s a keeper. Those big ball stinger pipes are good smokers.
