Had $100 to spend on a new pipe! I was close to buying a peterson from an online store. The other day my wife and I went to an estate auction. The man that passed was a 6'2" 350 pound biker. He also had two degrees from MIT and traveled the world teaching about recycling radioactive metals. Well I bought a small portion of his pipe collection. I spent $95 on 7 pipes and a stand, the other five dollars was spent on pipe cleaners and organic salt. Wish I could have sat and smoked a bowl with this man. Anyways here is what I bought instead of a new peterson.

What a haul! I'm sure he is glad you are going to give his pipes a good home!
EDIT: and this was post 2900! Just a few more to go until I hit 3k!

All the pipes are in great shape, little cake build up, no bite marks. I don't know much about pipes so if anyone has information on these please let me know. Also a good source on cleaning would be helpful. 
This one says royal Danish made in Denmark.

I'm not seeing anything recognizable as far as makers, except maybe the little short one that resembles a LOLLO pipe made by Savinelli, I think. Regardless, that was a well spent hundo!

This one is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of honey bunches of oats
Great find and thanks for taking the time to post!
Nice! You made your $95 back between that and the Lollo easy. Good score.
Awesome haul! I purchased some pipes and tobacco from an estate, earlier this year. I like the idea of keeping a part of someone's collection intact and well cared for. I bought some tobacco from the same estate, and mostly smoke that tobacco in those pipes, out of respect for the gentleman. Anyway, congrats on the band of briars!
Very nice! I have a Savinelli Lolita that's nearly identical to the Lollo you have there. Great little pipe.

Great haul- I am really liking the Stone Age
Agreed... the Stone Age beehive-ish volcano is awesome.
