I picked up six pipes this week. I think I did ok. Three of them need some clean up. Please feel free to give advice on the the new or estates.
First is a Nording:

I have no clue as to the age but it looks cool, it is pretty clean, and I can't wait to smoke out of it.
Next is a Mont-Blanc. Again not sure about it but it was clean and pretty nice. I think there might be some trouble with the bottom of the Meer bowl (saw this after I bought):

Here is a Dr. Grabow. Not sure about its age but I liked its style:

The last three are unsmoked Hayim Pinhas Meerschaums:

The Nording is a scene stealer. They're good pipes up and down the price continuum, but that one is extra nice. However, the other pipes are fine, the briars and the Meers, all handsome additions to your rotation. I like the simplicity of the Meers. Have a good time with these.

mso: You're right. The Nording is quite the piece. For the price that I paid for the lot, I'm quite please with them all. I wish I had had more $$. I would have picked up some more.

Congratulations, nice haul. The Grabow Starfire is a shape 42 from their Continental series and one of my favorites. Obviously the Nording steals the show, what's the stamping on that one? Any grade number?

Finally smoked the Nording tonight! What a nice pipe. It felt just right. Monkfish: it does not have any markings on it other than "Handmade by Erik Nording." The band has a number on it I think.

You don't see very many of those Nordings with that particular band with the markings on it. But there are a few of them out there. I've lost a few bids on Ebay trying to snag them. I can tell you that those bands are sometimes silver, and sometimes gold. I can't wait to see that one cleaned up.
