I think I stole a vintage Kaywoodie...
Got a package today with this in it...all it's gonna need is a light cleaning...can't have been smoked more than a few times...looks almost new...I feel like I robbed somebody...

I am assuming the stinger is the ball looking thing on the end of the stem? What purpose does that serve? (Never seen or heard of that before. Bit of a pipe noob, obviously )

Nice score, I have the exact same pipe and I love it! I'm not crazy about the drinkless system, but it doesn't effect the smoke. I just wish I could run a pipe cleaner through it.

Yep, that's what I did to a very recent Kaywoodie Drinkless Prince as it was a cheap pipe...but not gonna even think about that for my 50's and 60's Kaywoodies...

Re: I think I stole a vintage Kaywoodie...
Nice score Marc.
Alex, the drinkless system supposedly works as follows - when the smoke is drawn up into the stem the moisture condenses and collects on the ball and keeps it from reaching your mouth. Since I don't have a Kaywoodie myself, I don't know how well it works first hand and I've heard mixed opinions. Let us know what you think.

Re: I think I stole a vintage Kaywoodie...
Not sure if there is such a thing as a "vintage" Kaywoodie. However, hope it smokes well for you. But it is a nice looking pipe.
Get rid of the insert if is one in there, it smokes better.

Well, this one dates back to 1950-1955...that's pretty vintage to me...can't take out the insert and in this case it's a 4-holer which would absolutely destroy the pipe...the metal does a pretty good job of trapping moisture and if it gurgles it's usually just a bit too wet at the end of the stinger...a pipe cleaner pushed up to that point will soak up some of it and solve the problem...

Gonna make you groove...

Re: I think I stole a vintage Kaywoodie...
Nice 01 Marc! I've got 2 and like them both. I'm like you, I won't cut the stinger off of an older KW, but the few "newer" ones I have, 3 hole stingers, got neutered to I could run a cleaner through them.
If the guilt of buying that pipe so cheaply is killing you, I'll gladly take $40 to help you feel better.
