Family Heirloom Pipes (Pic Heavy)

[mopar440_6]

Hey guys, first post in "the Leaf" but I figured you would all appreciate these. I smoked a cheap Dr. Grabow pipe a few years ago but PIF'ed it to my brother-in-law when I realized it hadn't gotten any attention for almost a year. However, while helping my wife and the inlaws clean out her grandparents' house we came across her late grandfather's pipe collection. My brother-in-law will be keeping most of these but I will be taking one of them home to hopefully renew my interest in the good stuff. I plan to point him to this board for all the helpful tips on pipe restoration as all of these pipes will need a lot of TLC before they are ready to smoke again. Any help with identification of these pipes would be appreciated but is not necessary. I apologize for the poor image lighting and quality but I do not have my good camera with me. Hope you enjoy the photos...

All the pipes in their holder


With the box open. Some old Grabow filters


I found this one interesting, It says "Peak" on the side of the shank.


This is the one I will likely be taking home. Definitely needs a full restore but should be a beautiful pipe with a little elbow grease.

The remaining photos...

No markings that I can find. Pretty standard looking pipe to my untrained eyes


This one has seen some wear. Says "Selected Imported Briar" with what appears to be a small lion logo


This is by far my brother-in-law's favorite. His grandfather was Native American so this pipe has special meaning to him. The carving on this pipe is spectacular.


Photos cannot begin to show how beautiful the patterns in this briar are. This is probably the best looking of the bunch. Says "Wild Honey" and "Algerian Briar - France"

As a metal pipe fan this one intrigues me. Haven't seen one like it before.

Very nice pictures! Thanks for sharing! I'm still quite far behind on my pipe identification skills but others will be around who are top-notch at it. Welcome to the Brown Leaf! Let us know how the resto goes and don't be shy on asking questions!
