   Got these pipes from my grandfather today, they're all 45-50 years old.

   
   
   This one is stamped "PUFFS", "Imported Briar" I couldn't find anything about it on pipephil.

   
   
   I can't quite read it, but I believe it says Adonts, with TOKYO MADE underneath. Also nothing on Pipephil.

   
   
   Stamped Sparkproof, with Waterproof underneath. On the opposite side, it has Algerian Briar, Made in France stamped.

   
   
   Stamped: Suffolk, Algerian Briar underneath. This one has never been smoked, I couldn't find anything on pipephil.

   I got all these from my grandfather, he stopped smoking pipes at his wifes request for his health many many years ago.

   Found Sparkproof was made by Mastercraft.

   The other 2 are a mystery but also very cool.

   Also, check out Hurricane on the attached page.

   I've never seen one like the Sparkproof. That's a great feature!

   I hope your grandkids are as happy to get those pipes as you are.

    Thats awesome you were able to get his pipes.

    As long as I got a pipe full of baccy and a nose full of snuff, I'm a happy camper

    The hurricane design (swivel top) is very cool, best windcap ever!
