I've loved pipe smoking since I discovered it in college, though these days, now that I'm out of school, I don't indulge nearly as often as I used to. I was really into finding and restoring estate pipes (I only own one that I bought new). These are six that a law school friend gave me, but I never got around to working on them, and at this point I'm not going to - I have more than enough others for as seldom as I smoke.
These are free for anyone who is into restoring finds like this. I have no idea if there's even one person here interested, so instead of drawing names, let's just go with first person to PM me with an address gets them.
None are anything special, and I make no guarantees as to how well any of them would turn out, but if there happens to be someone here who enjoys restoring pipes, better that they go to that person than get tossed in my next move. Two some significant stem damage, and three are "meerschaum lined," if you're familiar with that.
Info on each pipe, moving left to right as pictured:
1. Markings: Bradberry, Imported Briar, Meerschaum. Has a "sitter" flat underside. Stem has some nicks and dents.
2. Markings: Kaywoodie, Relief Meerschaum, 11. Also flat underside. Missing a good chunk of the stem at the bottom side lip.
3. Manufacturer markings are hard to make out - looks like "[Illegible] Royal." Then "Imported Briar." Has what looks like a top hat logo on the stem. This is the third meerschaum-lined one.
4. Markings: Yello-Bole, Cured With Real Honey, Premier, Imported Briar
5. Markings: Monterey, Italian Bruyere. Also flat underside. This one unfortunately is the one with stem damage - the bottom at the lip has a wedge of material missing.
6. Markings: Puffs, Imported Briar
