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.
