KAYWOODIE Super Grain 61

KAYWOODIE Super Grain 61

USA, 1950s

We restored the same 1950s KAYWOODIE Super Grain 61 ‘Streamliner’ pipe nearly eight years ago. And now, through a twist of fate, we have its twin—nearly identical in dimensions (within 1 mm), the same briar, the same two holes drilled at the bottom of the chamber to the air channel, and carrying the same romantic aura of the 1950s. The only differences are a non-original mouthpiece and a collar added to the shank for extra durability. We were happy to assist and look forward to encountering the third sister in another eight years!
