Pre '54 Kaywoodie 07C Unsmoked

[riff raff]

I found this unsmoked, pre 1954 Kaywoodie 07C on Ebay.  I detailed the clean-up on Steve Laugs blog:

A pretty easy restoration, just a few dents on the bowl top and the oxidation was removed from the stem.

Try that link, there is a picture of the stinger which is fully intact. the shape number and stinger style helped ID the date range of when it was made.

Thanks that one worked and once again a PRIMO resto job Riff!!! If it didn't have that stinger, I'd smoke it !! ( they just never worked or me! )  :lol:

My other Kaywoodie, a 1930's four digit, Drinkless pipe also has the stinger.  It smokes remarkably well, if I remember to go slow.  I'm hopeful for this one as well.    In fact, for the maiden voyage I'm thinking now perhaps some Gaslight (I just cracked a tin today, wow!)

Here's a shot of the stinger:
