Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for Kaywoodie Pipes. The pipe that gets you like the man in the picture, standing next to the Christmas tree and behind an attractive young lady, a man dressed in a suit with a dainty moustache and a ring on his little finger, holding a Flame Grain Kaywoodie pipe. The ad headline says that “You give more than a pipe when you give Kaywoodie“ and it shows eight great pipes below this to demonstrate this fact. It shows a Centennial – Bent ($25), a Flame Grain, Meerschaum Inlaid – Apple ($12.50), a Coral White Briar – Pot ($5), a Filter Plus de luxe – Trumpet ($5), a Super Grain – Bulldog ($5), a Briar Mates – Double ($12.50), a Genuine Block Meerschaum in Case – Billiard ($25) and a Flame Grain – Billiard ($10). The ad says that “It is Christmas morning. The man pictured above has just received one of the handsomest of pipes – a Flame Grain Kaywoodie. The close-up at right portrays the rare perfection of grain, the distinctive markings you’ll find in the actual pipe. All Kaywoodie briars are noted for their beauty. All are equipped with the exclusive Drinkless Fitment which screens irritants, condenses tobacco tars, prevents clogging. That’s why every Kaywoodie draws so easily. When you give Kaywoodie, you give the finest!”
