They do have that Custom Built look to them. Though there are some Look a likes out there. What do the stampings say? 🙂

Cool, I had a hunch they might have been something like that. I was watching a youtuber I like review knives (1972 woodsman) and he was talking about a BP Jum pipe which I thought the heavier bowl pipe I got looked like.

Looks like a Custom-Bilt that I recently gave a shinier life to for a missed member here. (Along with Walt and his buffer)  |

Looks like Custombilt to me, but I’ve seen a few Weber Pipes very similar as well. You must be able to see part of the makers stamp.
Definitely not Kaywoodie, I own three of their hand carved chubby pots.....totally different.
PS
The middle Pipe the stem is upside down.

Custombilt's caused a stir when they came out and were subsequently copied, and many of the copies were decent smokers as well.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!
As stated already, there were a lot of Costombilt clones back in the day. I have a very healthy CB collection and would say that the top pipe could be a Custombilt, the middle one does have a name stamped on the shank and it looks like two words but they look a little to separated and slanted for a Tracy Mincer era CB stamp which had a hyphen separating the two words. And the third pipe is most likely not a CB but I have seen a few photos of CB's with a metal bands on the shank and also few Doodlers did as well.
Regardless what brand they are it looks like you are off to a good start to your pipe collection. If you are handy you can also restore them to smoking standards which is also a very rewarding aspect of this hobby. One of my favorite parts of the hobby is doing the research and learning the history on the pipes in my collection. Have fun with it and looking forward to seeing better pictures when they arrive.

They are Mr. Dobbs pipes and one of them is a "Custom Carved" Lopez didn't have anything and I'm surprised Who Made That Pipe didn't have a listing but Google has them as Mr Dobbs as Custombilt. I have the Custombilt book and will take a look later. The rims on the two looks like they are worth cleaning up. Enjoy!  |

The top pipe pictured is a mr. dobbs, the second says "custom carved" in cursive, maybe a custombilt clone, and the bottom with the collar is a "dry filter imported briar"
