Looking for some help dating a pipe that does not fit any of the material I can find about KB&B. It is has KB&B with the cloverleaf around it on the shank. Is stamped "CHEVRON" with ITALIAN BRUYERE under it. Then on the stem it is also stamped CHEVRON(faint but it is there). It has no number stamping. Based on Pipedia I am pretty sure it is pre 1936 at least. But I am not able to find anything regarding KB&B pipes that had the name of the pipe stamped on the stem. I seek the wisdom of the wise ones?

Steve Laug has a post awhile back.

If you would like to have a look at the KBB pipes that I have restored do a search on the blog for Kaufmann Brothers & Bondy, KBB, Yello-Bole and Kaywoodie pipes. The search will bring up quite a few of the pipes that I and other contributors to the blog have posted here.

And Pipephil.

I am not seeing a lot about the chevron.

So I went through his posts on Kaywoodie's and Kbb. Then went through the Pipedia again, assuming I read it all right. Would assume I am looking at at date range of 1881 to 1915. Still not finding anything on a pipe named the Chevron or any KB&B with the pipe name actually stamped on the stem. Gonna keep digging.

I've never heard of a KB&B Chevron before. I will be watching with great interest!

Interesting pipe, though.
