Nice pipes! The first, the bulldog, you might want to get those bands looked at by a jeweler. Some were solid gold! Most were gold-filled, gold-plated, or even sterling with a golden lacquer. Nice amber, too.
2nd is a cheroot or cigarillo holder, and that bowl looks like metal, possibly a later addition to replace a meerschaum one. Very classy!

Yep the last one is a cheroot holder. I always smile when they show up on Oi Vay labeled as pipes which would cause them to crack if you filled them with tobacco and tried to use them as pipes. The metal holder is most certainly a later addition as the 'holder' piece was usually hard clay or something fairly similar. Very nice and the first pipe is quite well colored. How does it smoke for you?
