Description

Kaywoodie pipes are as American as apple pie. Starting in 1919 as a pipe brand for KB&B, a pipe shop dating all the way back to 1851, Kaywoodie has since then been a staple of American-made pipes. In the present, many Kaywoodies are collectors’ items, in addition to being fantastic smokers.

If my dating is correct, this particular Kaywoodie is from their Oversized line, produced in the 1940s and 50s. These pipes were some of the most expensive pipes Kaywoodie offered at the time, with a retail price equivalent to around 200-300$ today. Simply stamped “Hand Made”, as this one is, these pipes were large, hand-carved, and came in a variety of finishes. This pot opera hybrid wears a rusticated finish very much reminiscent of the Custom-Bilt/Custombilt pipes that were very popular in the first half of the 20th century (and which are cult classics today).

The condition is very good. Minor wear to the rim, slight residual oxidation on the pipe’s vulcanite stem.
