Mission Briar

▲ The 55 KB&B shape number (Bent Billiard) seems to follow Kaywoodie's nomenclature. The Carburetor Pat. N° 2082106 is also the same as Kaywoodie's which produced Carburetor pipes from 1948 on. That could mean that the Manzanita (Mission Briar) pipes continued to be crafted long after WWII when Briar supply returned to normal for a long time.

This pipe also demonstrates the Manzanita grain has not always the monotony it is credited.

Faced with shortages of briar during World War II, Kaufman Brothers & Bondy used expedient sources and methods to maintain production. The most notable of these was the "Mission Briar" pipe made of Manzanita burl (Fam: Ericaceae) harvested in California. The Manzanita pipe production gradualy decreased from 1943 when Algerian briar shipments started again.

MONTEREY exists also as a full KB&B's sub-brand.

Other Manzanita pipes: Devonshire

The secret of a so long shank lies in its subdivision in two screwed parts. This is not a repear of a broken shank since the markings exactly overlap these two parts.
