[[Category: Pipe makers by nationality]] | '''Kerry S. Wathen''' was a pipemaker who worked for a small pipe shop in south Kansas City called "The Briar Patch" in the 1970's. Tending to larger sized pipes his centerpiece was a huge briar calabash shape. When the Briar Patch closed he probably moved to Iowa where his pipes were available at David's Briar Shop in Des Moines (ca. 1977 - 1980). | ||

Wathen was having some problems with his hands at that time and was finally forced to give up his talented carving. | |||
He inscribed his pipes with his name and two digits for the year of production like "Wathen '75". | |||
