Gotta' love eBay! Four brand new Dr. Grabow estate pipes that I scored today. Even with shipping, it averages out to $9/pipe. Three of them are called Starfires and one of them is called a Tuxedo. I don't know if these were part of a store display, or a salesman's case, but without further ado:
Only thing I'm unsure about, is the discoloration on the stems of two of the pipes. This would indicate to me, that these pipes had been used, but yet, the bowls are pristine. Not so much as a smudge of soot, unless they've been refinished... Any thoughts?

I'm looking forward to these... There's a depression in the lower left of the case. I wonder if there was originally a lighter, or maybe a small can of sample tobacco.
