KAYWOODIE Hand Made

USA, 1940-50s

This is one of the “old style” Kaywoodie Hand Made pipes produced between 1946 and 1955, possibly even earlier in the 1940s. All the details on the pipe confirm that it is an ancient and valuable historical rarity: the 4-hole stinger is stamped “Drinkless” and a patent number (a little hard to read in full), and a round clover leaf logo is elegantly positioned on the top of the mouthpiece. However, the pipe is remarkably well-preserved and did not require any special effort to freshen it up.

Pipe markings “Hand Made \ KAYWOODIE”, “IMPORTED BRIAR”
Length 14.1 cm (5.55″)
Bowl Height 4.0 cm (1.57″)
Outside Diameter 5.1 cm (2″)
Chamber Diameter 2.2 cm (0.87″)
Chamber Depth 3.2 cm (1.26″)
Weight 68 gr.
Briar, vulcanite stem, aluminium air cooler.

Although the bowl surface has a few minor scratches and dings, we opted to preserve the pipe’s original finish.

The pipe was accurately smoked, it has been thoroughly cleaned, polished, sanitized and now is ready for a new life.

Denmark, 1970-80s A nicely made Danish freehand from Erik Nording. The pipe comes the most probably from the 1970-80 when his old grading system was applied (A to F and 1, 2, 3….). An exquisite middle size smooth freehand pipe with attractive distinct grain!

USA, 1950s This pipe seems to be one of the first Kaywoodie Standard pipes: the series was introduced around 1950 and is still produced, but note the clover logo located on the top of the stem and the 4-hole stinger. That testifies undoubtedly that the pipe was made in the early 1950s the latest, before…

Italy Autograph pipes make only 2% of the Savinelli production, but since 1980s they are the subject of a special pride of the company. The pipes are made essentially by hand; briar is sourced absolutely separately from the materials for a mass market. Every bowl is firstly shaped and only then drilled by experienced carvers….

Italy This may not be the most valuable Ser Jacopo pipe we have ever showcased, but its allure lies in its convenient and comfortable shape, masterful rustication, and, of course, the prestigious name it bears. Judging by the dotted logo on the mouthpiece, it belongs to the period between 1983 and 1997, an “early” Ser…

Denmark The origin of the Jobey brand is a kind of a mystery. The most probably the company was founded in the beginning of the XX century, but there is a contradictory opinion about a mother country of Jobey pipes. Most sources believe Jobey was an English founded company switched soon to production in USA….
