UNSMOKED NEW 1950s Kaywoodie Pipe Flame Grain 42 Medium apple Stem bitter Carbur

Very interesting it is labeled Flame grain but has a carburetor and a stem bitter stem! 

RESTORER NOTE:

After breathing life into hundreds of Kaywoodies, freeing their stubborn stingers from the ghostly whispers of tobacco past, this unsmoked gem stands as a true marvel. Twisting the stem apart to reveal the stinger exactly as it was presented in the mid-century — pristine, untouched, and full of history — was one of the most enchanting moments of the entire restoration. I’m truly thrilled to offer this piece, hoping the next keeper will feel the same joy and wonder I did in unveiling its timeless beauty.

YEAR OF Manufacture Note:

Kaywoodie pipes can be dated by examining key features. Pipes made before 1935 were never stamped "Imported Briar," while four-digit shape numbers typically indicate a pre-1936 vintage, with non-threaded fitments suggesting production before 1925. Stingers also offer clues—four-hole stingers were used between 1937 and 1954, with some continuing until 1955, while three-hole stingers appeared from 1955 onward. Smaller stingers marked only with "Drinkless" and no numbers likely date to the WWII era. The cloverleaf logo design evolved over time, with elongated white clovers on pre-WWII pipes, round black clovers inside white circles (or reversed) introduced in 1937 and used until the early 1980s. The logo was positioned on top of the stem until the early 1950s, when it was moved to the side. Serial numbers can further narrow the date—two digits indicate the 1930s to 1950s, while three digits suggest the 1970s or 1980s. By combining these details, collectors can more accurately date their Kaywoodie pipes.
