I bought a Sherlock Holmes pipe Cabinet with the glass door and 23 pipes for 80 bucks. There's was a Comoys Christmas 1986, a St Claude Gold Touch, Italian Handmade Briar, Kaywoodie , Yello Bole, Dr Grabow and some broken pipes. There is one pipe marked Bernard III that I can't find any info on. I pretty new to buying pipes and don't really know what I'm doing. Hopefully I made out okay.

I'm sure I've seen those cabinets go for more than $80 on their own! So, with twenty odd pipes as well, even if only one or two are useable (after some solid cleaning and restoration), I'd say you got yourself a fantastic deal.
You got any photos?

Um, you SCORED. I love the Comoy Christmas pipes of the 70s and 80s, and, for me, that pipe alone would have been worth the $80 (even though I don't love a full bent).
Congratulations!

Jon,
First off welcome to the forums. Second......SCORE!!!!!!!! For $80 you have a cabinet and a great starting rotation to smoke, do resto work on, or a combination of both. From what I can see most of those don't need anything more than a simple cleaning, a disinfecting the stem, and you're off. Great job.
Oh yeah, if you couldn't tell, we are pipe picture whores here. :rofl:

I'm pretty sure that cabinet is made of pure asbestos, lead, mercury, and radon. You need to send it to me immediately for proper "disposal"... :lol:

I'd say that was a great score ... odds are, some of those are good pipes ...
BTW, search for Dr. Bernard pipes ... you'll find some info pretty quick
