I struck the motherlode of estate pipes today.
There is a place in Picayune, MS named Treasures & More on the frontage road that has a good supply of estate pipes on hand. I think there is over 30 pipes left and most of them are stamped Made in Denmark, Made in London or England and Made in Italy. There is one Savinelli. There was also one or two stamped Made in France. Out of all the pipes in the case only one was a Kaywoodie and one was a WDC.
I bought a Peterson's Kapp-Royal 79 (has IRC stamped on the stem so it was probably sold by Iwan Ries) and a Soren stamped Hand Carved Made in Denmark. It is a Soren Refberg pipe. Two other pipes which stood out - a Jarl made in Denmark and a pipe with a Fleur de Lis on the stem. Most of the pipes were around $30 each and in restorable condition.
I'll post photos later today.

Don,
To be honest, I'm not sure I remember because they had about 30 pipes - mostly made in Denmark - but I want to say the Jarl was a Volcano shape. It reminds me of a Big Ben Crosley I found 4 or 5 months ago.

Great find!
It would be interesting to see if they would give you a volume quote for the lot.

Someday someone is probably going to find my pipes in some weird off the beaten path store and say they are in "restorable condition".

It was a Christmas present from the wife a few years ago. He does them for all the services and a bunch of sports and organizations. |

Sweet! I have never found an estate pipe worth a damn out in the wild. Check the antique shops in Breaux Bridge. I’ve occasionally seen decent pipes there. Just examine them carefully. |
