Start Of An American Collection (Kaywoodie Regent)

[durham270]

I've decided to start an American pipe collection and when I spotted this one I knew it would be the starting point. I did have to clean her up some as the rim had a bit of char.
Kaywoodie Regent #13B Arthur 1968/69

Very nice start. I have a few Kaywoodies, I like them.

Now that is a beautiful pipe! Congrats sir. I have a few Kaywoodies myself. I like them too!! :D

Striking piece of work and a fine restoration.

Well done, I love those Regents! And the 13B might be the finest Author shape ever made.

Durham:
Kaywoodie's use of the cumberland stem on this pipe elevates its aesthetics into my "wow" zone. How does it smoke, Sir?

best looking kaywoodie I've seen

Wish I've known you collected them I just sold 5 and gifted one because it was gifted to me by a member so I decided to not sell it.

I've got a Supergrain #44 out in the shop waiting for me to refurbish. I din't think I can match your skills, but now I'm inspired!

 

[redbeard]

Wow, that stem is beautiful!!

If the start is any indication, your's will be a great collection.

Gorgeous indeed! I'm with riff about KW nailing the author shape with the 13's. I have 3, a 13b and ones with the shape and "13" imbedded in longer shape numbers (I need to do some research on KW numbers). One of them is an amazingly articulate puffer - and it was one I got at a flyfishing show for $5.

I love the looks of Kaywoodies but I am not fond of most of them having stingers. That is a gorgeous pipe and a fine start to a collection.

 

[tuold]

Every Kaywoodie I've come across has been a winner and yours is gorgeous! Congrats.

Outstanding Kaywoodie! I've started a collection of carburators and drinkless - Regents are next on the list. I agree with Al, love the 13B author shape. Congratulations on your find.
