KAYWOODIE Super Grain 61

USA,1950s

A very interesting Kaywodie pipe from 1950’s. Both the streamliner shape (so much popular at those times) and the technically advanced drilling approach make this sample a really collectable piece of American pipe making history. The drilling is done under the chamber with two drought holes down to bottom of the chamber in order to make the smoking process more comfortable and dry.

The pipe markings are “Super Grain \ KAYWOODIE”, “61”. The length is 15.7 cm (6.18″), bowl’s height is 3.8 cm (1.5″). External dimensions of the bowl are 3.6 x 2.3 cm (1.34″ x 0,9″), internal dimensions are 2.2 x 1.3 cm (0.87″ x 0.51″). The depth is 2.3 cm (0.9″) and this pipe weights 24 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, air cooler. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat.
