[QUOTE="Niblick, post: 577766, member: 4505"] You have a great looking pipe there Pipe Man. I think Peterson's copied those like your pipe. HaHaHa. Here's a link from Pipepedia on the KBB's. I've always had to reference the dating on theses pipes from this website. So you know the date when they stopped stamping these but not the exact year when made. "The KB&B briar pipe brand existed from 1900 until just after World War I (with some overlapping with the Kaywoodie from 1915 -- 1917), and collectors refer to the KB&B as a Kaywoodie transition pipe. Also this: The pre-Kaywoodie KB&B pipes were marked on the shank with a cloverleaf around KB&B. Some early Kaywoodies had this same marking on the shank, but the practice was dropped sometime prior to 1936. [URL='https://pipedia.org/wiki/Yello-Bole']Yello-Boles[/URL] also had KB&B in the leaf on the shanks, but did not have the ampersand found on Kaywoodies. [URL unfurl="true"]https://pipedia.org/wiki/Kaufmann_Bros._%26_Bondy[/URL] [/QUOTE]
