Judas Priest, Brad! Those are drop dead gorgeous.
Since you told me about Bill Sargent I've been scouring Topeka for his burners and have only met two people who own a few of them. Bill's been gone for over 25 years but there's still enough folks around here who remember his tobacco shop and, more importantly, remember him as a gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor. (It's really kind of sweet watching their faces soften as they start telling stories about him and his pipes.)
His pipes were expensive thirty years ago - 250 to 300 on average - and Bill specialized in Canadians. (They were his signature items.)
Good on you for getting those two pipes refurb'ed by Mr. Walker. He did a swell job, so enjoy them, pal.

Those pipes are all the better for having seen some action. They've lived.
