Kaywoodies and More (pic heavy)

I have been meaning to put up this post for some time now, so better late than never. Shortly after I began smoking pipes I mentioned to a fellow co-worker, Mike E., that I had started to enjoy smoking pipes. He said "My dad used to smoke pipes! I have all of his old pipes. I'll bring them here for you." Ok...cool! So I left him thinking that he would bring by a couple of his dad's pipes for me to look at and maybe I might have the opportunity to buy them off of him.
A couple of days went buy when Mike comes up to me and says "I've got somthing for you." So I follow him back to his workstation where he pulls out a large Tupper Storage Bin that had about a 1/4" layer of dust on top of it and opens it. My jaw dropped as I looked inside at the large collection of pipes and accessories. The smell that came out of the bin was pretty foul but I ignored it as I began to rumage through all the cool stuff before me.
I asked Mike "Would you be willing to sell me a couple of these pipes?" He answered "No. I'm not interested in selling them, but I'll give them all to you if you want them." 8O Needless to say Mike has a favor he can call in at anytime.
Mike says that his dad smoked primarily Borkum Riff. Well let me tell you whatever it was it ghosted everything inside of that bin including two of the pipes which were unsmoked(Darby and Mastercraft). All the pipes were seriously caked, some so bad that the tobacco chamber was completely closed off.
Of all the pipes that Mike gave me I have restored 13 of them. Here is the entire lot he gave me. Thanks Mike!

You're right about that. The stamping is very shallow and it is very hard to make out.

Would you be willing to sell the pipe in the first picture, third down?

Not at this time. I am planning on eventually restoring all of the pipes, maybe then I'll decide which ones I may let go.

I hope the stingers are intact.

Yes they are, except for one. It was already broken. I did, however, remove the stingers off of the other pipes that had the push in type.
