Happy when I ran across these pipes and looked into their history more. I had only heard of the Hilson brand until digging deeper.
1. Pipelane Ltd

2. Dunbar, Made in England

3. Hilson, Avanti
Pipelane Ltd. Is actually a signature pipe from Savinelli

Dunbar Made in England is from Comoy's

All three are fine looking pipes. I've been intrigued by Hilsons, and the idea that an inventory of these was

stored and recovered after decades and have now been finished and are being sold. I think Hilsons were

originally made in The Netherlands, but ended up being produced in Belgium. The Savenelli and Comoy

are likely prime smokers. Durham, you turn up some great estates.

I have five Hilson's. Three I really like...two I haven't figured out yet. I bought all mine as estates each for less then $15. I haven't grabbed any of the NOS pipes but if I recall correctly Foggy loves his.
Definitely a brand that I keep an eye out for.

Nice pipes and I can bet they will turn out to be beauties once they are restored, congrats.
