This Supergrain 50B is a handsome example for sure! Kaywoodie called it a Bulldog, round stem but that’s kind of a Rhodesian so there you go. Made between 1954 and 1972, this 55 + years old pipe has had decades of time to further season the briar which can only improve its smoking qualities.
This pipe also comes with an original box and sock for the pipe. I’ll tell you that I rarely ever see Kaywoodie socks. They often sold in boxes that didn’t use pipe socks / pouches and not many were saved. In hundreds of unsmoked ones I’ve found over the years, I’ve only seen a handful of socks in that time. It’s a simple thing but cool as a collector.
The briar shows some really nice grain, even for the supergrain line and the coloring is beautiful too as can be seen in the photos. The original price tag is still on the back of the vulcanite stem.
Kaywoodie Stem Under-Clocked: Direct Quote from Kaywoodie:
*The mouthpieces of all Kaywoodies are “canted”slightly to the left when new. This is done to allow for break-in room after some use so the stem does not end up “overclocked.”Regular use will shortly bring the stem into perfect alignment.
Even though it was unsmoked, it’s been stored for longer than I’ve been alive. I cleaned the metal parts of any accumulations. I gently buffed the briar with extra fine White Diamond to remove any old oils, wax and dust as well as help bring that original stain back out. I applied a couple coats of fresh block carnauba wax and hand buffed until it felt just right. It makes a big difference.
These are among the most popular brands to collect and an unsmoked Kaywoodie will make for a great addition to any collection or rotation.
Thanks for looking. - P
PIPE PREPARATIONS & INFO:
Estate pipes, smoked or unsmoked, always have the small chance of minor handling marks. The 10-20 photos show the pipe well. Use them as your guide to condition as with any item. I’m happy to answer any questions.
» You get what you pay for.
At a minimum, I do everything possible to make sure the pipe is at its best and packaged well. All pipes are carefully inspected, cleaned, gently buffed, waxed with Carnauba and the stems are hand polished and oiled as needed. For a decade, I’ve put all I have into these pipes, packaging and more. I really enjoy it and my fellow hobbyists.

I do not have the time to reply to messages asking for deals. If I have room to move, I’ll list the pipe as “Or Best Offer.” Prices are firm. Please consider the large seller fees, taxes and equipment investments. If I don’t reply, no offense intended. It’s just time consuming to explain all this in each message. I appreciate your consideration.
All info such as filtered or no, dimensions and info is listed above, most of it at the beginning of the ad in bullet points.
AFTER YOUR PURCHASE & INFO:
I spent a lot of time planning every little part and unboxing experience is important too. I’ve never had a pipe arrive damaged either.
Pipes are almost always shipped as one piece. This is far better for the pipe, particularly with climate changes during shipping.
Expect replies during normal business times. I reply as fast as I can, but if it’s the weekend or middle of the night, it may be a bit before I’m able to read and reply.
ABOUT RADIANT PIPES VINTAGE RESTORATIONS & CURATED BRIARS:
Due to a broken back and multiple injuries leaving me bed-ridden more than a decade, as well as raising a very awesome and brilliant special needs child, I had to be home 24/7. I took up restoration and pipe making as a hobby around 2019 to feel some satisfaction of work and to help fund some activities / therapies needed. This quickly turned into a full obsession and I’ve spent every day since working on, researching, making and enjoying pipes. I’m as much of an avid enthusiast as the best of them with serious PAD & TAD. This is not a profitable venture but it’s fulfilling and I really enjoy hearing the great response from you guys.
My margins are often very narrow for the amount of work, the cost of the item, seller fees, taxes etc. I barely break even annually doing this. I spend a lot of time deciding prices that are fair for both of us. I cannot reply to requests for discounts. If there is room, I will lower the price. If we have built a rapport, you know that I will do all I can to work with you though.
Many call cleaning a pipe “restored.” It hurts those of us that put years of time and effort into these. There are some great restoration artists out there. Sometimes the pipe just needs a detailing job. I don’t sell pipes that had any cracks or major issues. If I was to, it would be well described. (Like selling lots of pipes that didn’t meet my criteria etc)
I do this professionally, full time. When it says Restored, it is truly restored. Pipes that don’t need any restoration are detailed and waxed. I have spent almost single every day for years working on pipes and making them. My goal is that you get above and beyond what you expect.
*I COMBINE SHIPPING. Easy way: Add multiple items to cart and check out. It will apply discounts automatically. If you purchase multiples separately and I notice, I’ll refund any and all excess shipping costs.
I try to ship within 1-2 business days. If purchased on a Friday, I’ll ship Monday. Tuesday on very busy times but I try my best to get them out fast. USPS times can vary and it’s outside my control.
USPS DISCLAIMER: I have NO control on delays or knowing where a package is any more than you do with the tracking number. Sometimes USPS tracking doesn’t work but the pipe always shows up.
RETURNS:
If you’re not 100% happy, please let me know before filing any dispute or response. I’ll do everything I can to resolve the situation. It’s quite rare but I want you very happy with your purchase. Returns must be in the exact same condition as sent to you. If they’re smoked or damaged, I cannot accept it back. Buyer pays shipping back unless it is my mistake and I’ll cover all costs. Thanks so much for reading all of this if you got this far!! Best regards, Peter
