Description
Kriswill GOLDEN CLIPPER Model
Gorgeous Golden Flame Grain!
86 Round Shank, Tall Panel Bowl
c 1960’s-70’s, Hand in Denmark
Beautiful Pipe, Near Mint Shape!
Here is an early Kriswill GOLDEN CLIPPER, handmade in the 1960’s-70’s in Denmark, in very good condition. This is some of the prettiest grain I’ve seen on a Kriswill pipe, really gorgeous flame grain and interesting birdseye on the outer side, and vibrant rich color. The Kriswill company made some excellent pipes, and have their own signature look (
see photo of Golden Clipper shapes, this is the next to the bottom on the left side, Nature finish
). The bowl has a rich golden-brown stain with smooth finish, with wonderful contrast, and almost no wear to the bowl. Weighs in about 1.0 ounces, nicely seasoned from age and use. The stem is nicely cut, has a hint of one tooth impression, and includes Kriswill snowflake on the side. The draw hole is bottom center, and it draws very easy.
It’s freshly polished, draws easy with draw hole bottom center, and is ready to smoke!

Additional cleaning may be desired on some pipes, as I focus on the exterior reconditioning and reaming, and leave the shank interior to the new owner. Pipe stand not included with any pipe.

Kriswill was one of the large pipe manufacturers in Denmark during the 1960s and 1970s, and I believe closed around 20 years ago. Their catalog cover read “By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court, KRISWILL, Kriswork Briar Trading, Briar Pipes Hand Made in Denmark.”
During the 1960s, a period which represented the zenith of the Kriswill ascension, they were marketed and sold totally independently of Stanwell and, AFAIK, and were never a subsidiary. After the Danish Kriswill enterprise ended, pipes were made in Norway and in France under the Kriswill label.
