I am going to look at these pipes later today and I would like to know anything I can about them before I go because the young man selling them knows absolutely nothing and I want to be fair to him. They were his grandfathers who recently past away.
I'm pretty sure the green one is a Carey Magic Inch and I think the the two large pots might be Stanwell.

Those two pots turned out to be made by Sketcher, I had never heard of them and can't find anything on Pipedia but they sell for a lot on Ebay.
This acquisition might be the deal of the century! 11 never smoked pipes, an im "Old Boy" lighter in the gift box and never opened, a couple 4th generation tins from 2013 and 2014, a 7 oz can of Borkum Riff Bourbon Whisky unopened, a 12 oz. can of Sir Walter Raliegh Aromatic unopened, a 4th Generation blue leather roll up pouch NIB, and a really cool pipe smoking coaster set NIB!

Cool concept! Carved rings around the sides and holes drilled from the top to intersect with the rings. Should be cool to the touch .... even if it's on fire

stone..........I know! They look identical yet I can't find any correlation between them. Yours is either an unbranded/rebranded Doodler. Many rebranded pipes use to be sold at the Tinderbox.

They both have Sketcher and Italy stamped into the bottom. It’s a rebranded Mincer, after the mid 50’s I’ve seen a number of Mincer’s pipes sold under other names. |

I went back and looked, the picture I posted is actually a picture of the doodler. I grabbed the wrong thumbnail on Imgur .
I see one difference in the number of holes, the doodler has 12 holes these two pipes have 8.

Anthony, an excellent pipe restorer has a beautiful Doodler👌👍👍 Anthony.....when you have time.....come on back and post your stunning pictures. Plus, your one of the best when it comes to helping another brother with questions on pipe restorations. PS Still is most likely a rebranded Mincer |

Sounds like a fantastic deal. The worst part is the poor kid didn't know any better and he said he threw out dozens of pipes because they had been smoked. Based on everything else I saw that his grandfather had there were probably some gems in there. |

Just spoke to a friend from NY, he owns a pipe stamped “ Holeysmoke “ with 8 holes drilled vertically. He was told it’s a rebranded Mincer.

I would try to get them as cheap as possible...lowball him and act like you are a pro when you show up. Highlight any imperfections, let him know that gramps was into cheap drugstore pipes,and the drugstore tobacco is pretty cheap stuff also...be diplomatic, not like you are talking down to him...just matter of factly.
That tells me that he has chosen not to check anything out as far as market value, he obviously is not hungry since he isn't willing to do research....and doesn't really care about grandpa's stuff....it isn't like you are robbing a widow...these do not look like high dollar pipes.

I almost felt bad for what I paid for everything I got from him. But like you said he didn't take 10 minutes time to look on the internet to see what he had, so I don't think he really cared. I just hope he wasn't selling it out from under Grandma while she wasn't looking LOL |

These are the two "Sketchers" I bought yesterday. As you can see, they have 8 holes where The Doodler has 12.

I gave a Sketcher to Zach. Zach did find some info and there may have been a Mincer connection, but he hasn't been around in awhile. |
