That looks like it will be a pretty easy restoration. Was that a piece chipped /missing from the shank?Wow a goldfoil! I've never heard of
" Dorset knotty" as a kaywoodie line. Could it be a replacement stem?

That looks great from the photos. Nice find.Just found and ordered this off etsy. I am very excited to receive it and will report on it's condition when I recieve it. I think it just needs cleaning up a bit.
Looks incredible in my humble opinion. Previous owner took a good sized bite out of it. Nice work.I recently restored this Matched Grain 10. The button was bitten through both top and bottom. Let me know if you think my reconstruction will work. PM if you would like a link to my restoration blog.

Thanks. I have to say, I've found its come to be my best smoker, even with the much maligned stinger. Just smokes beautifully, hardly heats up at all, passes a cleaner easily. I'm enjoying it to the extent that my Peterson is gathering dust!A solid spot to research Kaywoodies:
