Dr. Grabow pipes began with luis B. Linkman († 1957), of the M. Linkman and Co.

of Chicago in 1932 (Pat # 1 896 800). Linkman and Co. ceased producing the Dr. Grabow pipes around 1953.

After this date the brand was owned by Henry Leonard and Thomas (HLT), Inc. of Queens,

New York and produced by Sparta Pipes Inc.
In 1969, US Tobacco acquired Sparta Pipes and rights to Dr. Grabow.
Lane Ltd. acquired the Dr. Grabow property from US Tobacco. Lane Ltd.

came under ownership of RJ Reynolds and British American Tobacco in about 2000.
Dr. Paul E. Grabow died in 1965 at age 97.
Production (2006): ~250,000 pipes/year

該廠歷史資料超豐富，附上早期該廠其他斗型和簡介.....分享如下 :

Kaywoodie began as a line of pipes offered by KB&B (Kaufman Brothers & Bondy)

in 1919 (see also Dinwoodie).

Ultimately, KB&B changed its corporate name to "Kaywoodie".

It became a brand of S. M. Frank & Co from March 1955.

Kaywoodie seconds: Bentley US, Devonshire

 

The cloverleaf logo: the round logo (black cloverleaf in white circle

or white cloverleaf in black circle ) was first used in 1937.

Up until the late 40's this logo was used on all of the upper grades pipes.

The concomitant use of the plain white cloverleaf and the disk inlaid logo continued untill the early 80's.

Up until the late 1940's/early 50's, the logo was on top of the stem.

After that the logo was moved to the side of the stem (exceptions exist).

The code: see comments about "President" pipe

 

• Kaywoodie time line
• The Drinkless stinger patent.
• The Synchro Stem patent.
• A three hole stinger.

 

Early Kaywoodie (1919-1924)

▲ (Left side) Kaywoodie (Arched over...) KB&B (In clover)

(Right side) 4223

▲ KB&B inside clover stamped on the shank.

 

The Drinkless Shellcraft

▲ (Underside) 07 The Drinkless Shellcraft

The white logo has the shape of the Drinkless systeme (see dok)

which equipped these pipes from 1924.

This Shellcraft has a push tenon and was thus crafted prior to 1930.

No KB&B clover stamped on the shank.

See also: the Shellcraft as a Kaywoodie line

 

and the recent Kaywoodie Shellcraft Made in Italy.

• The Drinkless stinger patent.

 

The Drinkless Peer

 

▲

(Left side) The Drinkless , Peer

(Right side) Aged Bruyere, 17

 

Push tenon and Drinkless stinger

This pipe is marked with "Drinkless" on the shank, on the stem and on the stinger.

It doesn't have the KB&B shamrock logo nor any "Kaywoodie" stamping.

Nevertheless its caracteristics allow to identify it as an early Kaywoodie:

• A 2 digits shape number (17 = Dublin): period 1924-1929)
• A push tenon: pipe manufactured prior to 1929

 

 

Premier

 

▲ (Left side) KBB (In clover) Drinkless, Premier
(Right side) Aged Bruyere, 29

The "Premier" line was produced only during a year: 1928

From 1924 to 1929 (about) Kaufmann Brothers & Bondy (KB&B) stamped

a 2 digit code on the pipes (29 in this case) to indicate their shape.

The fact this pipe dates from this period is also confirmed by a push stem.

It illustrates a test period coming first to a Kaywoodie line and followed by the Kaywoodie brand.

 

Due to its "Drinkless" stamping this pipe is reported in the Kaywoodie section and not in KB&B's.

 

Early Drinkless

▲ KBB (in clover) Drinkless, Kaywoodie, 05/27
Gold foil clover inlay in stem

▲ 05 should be the shape code (short shank billiard), and the 27 (1927)

may be the production year. Push tenon design (pre-synchrostem) .

 

 

▲ (Left side) KBB (In clover) Drinkless, Kaywoodie
(Right side) Rock Ambera, Aged Bruyere, 7605
(Bottom) Synchrostem, PAT. APP. FOR, LA

▲ Rock Ambera: Bakelite stem with appearance of amber. These pipes had a black cloverleaf.

Period: 1929 - 1931

More about the PAT. APP. FOR stamping.

 

▲ (Left side) KBB (In clover) Drinkless, Kaywoodie
(Right side) Aged Bruyère, 7704

▲ "KBB" inside clover stamped on the shank was canceled in 1933.

The lack of "PAT. APP. FOR" stamping would indicate the synchrostem

patent was allready granted (1932) when this pipe was crafted.

Thus this pipe may be dated rather precisely.

The clover stamp with the KBB initials on the shank indicates a pipe

 

crafted in the old KB&B plant at Union City (NJ) prior to 1933.

 

Early Super Grain

▲
(Left side) KAYWOODIE Super Grain
(Right side) Grecian Briar, 5123
(Bottom) Synchrostem, PAT. APP. FOR

▲ The PAT. APP. FOR stamping being canceled in 1932, this pipe is one of the

very first Super Grains produced.

More about the PAT. APP. FOR stamping

The first Super Grains appeared in late 1931 or early 1932. They are the only

pipes Kaywoodie produced with the shamrock inlaid in the shank and not on the stem.

Shank embedded logos were stoped by 1938.

Differentiate an early Super Grain from a post WWII Super Grain.

 

 

Early "President"

▲ (Left side)

KBB (In clover) Drinkless, Kaywoodie

(Right side)

Aged Bruyere, 7793

(Bottom)

Synchrostem, PAT. APP. FOR

▲ The PAT. APP. FOR stamping allows to date the pipe above: 1929-1931.

The shape called "President" is a Kaywoodie's distinctive production. It has never been copied.

Until late 1930's pipes were stamped with a 4 digit code (this pipe: 7793).

• The first 2 numbers (77) designate the style or finish.
• The last 2 are the shape numbers (93).
• The numerical code may be reinforced by a letter for variants.

Thus the small "President" pipes are stamped 93S while the larger

bear a 93L (see also this Super Grain pipe).

Later Kaywoodie will cancel the 2 first style/finish numbers keeping the 2

last shape numbers and the letter for variants (i.e. Allbriar or Connoisseur).

 

 

Early Suntan

▲ (Left side) KBB (in clover) Drinkless Kaywoodie

(Right side) Suntan, Algerian Bruyere, 7002, X

▲ The "X" that appears to the right of the shape number (7002)

 

was stamped by Kaywoodie when the bowl was replaced under warranty.

Suntan period: 1928-late 1950's

"Made in England" Suntans have been produced more recently.

 

Early Thorn

▲ (Bottom) KBB (in clover) Drinkless Kaywoodie, Thorn, 7329

▲ This early Thorn finish has the "KBB" inside clover stamped on the shank.

Thorn period: 1928-late 1950's

"KBB" inside clover stamped on the shank was canceled in 1933.

此種瘤狀雕刻非常費工...現今斗廠多不願生產此種雕刻，真是挺可惜。

【Hand Made In Denmark Sll】丹麥手工斗工作室作品，石楠木製彎斗。

未落款作者只有Sll(S2型)，斗型手法疑似Preben Holm但查不出此編號。

燃燒室與斗缽口沒燒蝕碳化崩塌情形，斗嘴手工打磨後烏黑晶亮沒咬痕。

斗長 : 18.0，  斗高 : 7.8，  斗寬 : 4.5，  斗口 : 2.5 公分 V型。

此斗已整體手工打磨大翻新、染色、做膜完畢，外觀亮麗~鏡面效果優。

此斗做工充滿了Preben Holm手法，只可惜沒P.H的落款~所以無法確定。

石楠木瘤屬一級料，有漂亮工整的紋路斗身輕盈~且斗身毫無砂孔瑕疵。

煙道頭段為3mm鑽孔，榫頭中段濾心處為3mm設定，斗嘴末端以2mm收尾。

此斗斗嘴造型與P.H先前作品同款，只差在斗嘴上沒有廠徽(也許脫落)。

照先前廠徽應為P.H字樣，老娘前後收藏P.H作品近80支...也很難確定。

但是工藝師製作手法很難模仿，這是原作者作品擁有看多了~直接反映。

【一萬三千元整】超大支的手工斗，材料與做工都非常漂亮~值得擁有。
