Small local antique shop has its fall gathering. Vendors are set up outside as well. I walk up and find a box of mostly low end pipes. No biggie, maybe a diamond in this bunch.
Top pipe is a Linkman's Dr Grabow Deluxe Briar Patent 1896800 Shape 9710. Propeller logo on stem and gold shield on shank. After some research dates from 1932-1941
Bowl is a bit out of round from use and reaming, but still servicable. Not sure whether to clean it up and use it or leave as is and look at it. It was loved for sure. Need a few opinions.
The other is a Soren Freehand. Made in Denmark. It has a relief carving of some "leaves" or something on the back side of the bowl. Stem is in great shape. I will tackle this one and smoke it soon.
I got both for $60
