Any Kaywoodie collectors hanging out in here?
I rescued both of these pipes from antique stores over Thanksgiving.
These were my first 2 attempts at bringing old pipes back to life and I absolutely loved the process. I reamed the bowls, used the alcohol/salt method to remove ghosting, sanded and polished the stems and then polished the rest. I'm sure I have lots to learn and I look forward to many more restorations in the near future.
The dark pipe is a Kaywoodie 73S Relief Meerschaum (meerschaum lined bowl) and the white pipe is a Kaywoodie White Briar with no serial number.
Any comments, criticism, pointers, etc would be most appreciated. Also, if you have photos of your own Kaywoodie pipes please post them as well.
