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. ::
