More Inherited Pipes! I Need Help!
In reading about GBD pipes, I have seen reference to "army" or "Military" mounts, especially in relation to "Super Q" pipes. Is that simply a reference to having the metal on metal connection between the shank and the stem? -

Came across this today in my grandfather's things. It isn't a pipe, but it is pipe related. My grandfather was also a cartoonist and the people in his drawings (whether it was for his CHP colleagues or Navy colleagues) frequently were sporting pipes. This one was even more expressly pipe related! -

He was in the Naval Reserves most of his life. He started out on submarines, but eventually was part of a SWCC boat unit. In the first picture he is a CW03 (Chief Warrant Officer 03). He retired as a CW04. I don't know for SURE where the jeep picture was taken, but I suspect it was taken... -

Am I correct in my belief that this (large) set is of a slightly lower "quality" than the Preben Holms, etc. I first posted about in the other thread I made? -

Thanks! No condolences needed -- He passed away many years ago. My mom just got around to giving me the pipes. Since I have posted his pipes, I figure I might as post a couple of him smoking his pipes! -

Ok, now we are out of the big groups of "related" pipes and on to ones that strike me as "similar" to each other in style. Starting from the left, the first 4 pipes have "diamond" shaped shanks. The left most one has the letters "KBB" in a clover leaf and reads "Filter Brush by Yello-Bole" and... -

Thanks, btp79! I don't smoke myself and my intention is not really to sell any (or at least, that was my intention before I found myself flooded with pipes!). I want to restore a few for sentimental reasons. I will definitely be doing that for the Preben Holms and some of the other Danish... -

So I have reached the end of the boxes that housed my grandfather's belongings (or at least the portion that came to me). I have found more pipes. A lot more. Like 40 more. Someone must have sorted them at some point, because these ones are primarily English. They also, to my untrained eye... -

So I was going through more of my grandfather's things and the good news: I found two more pipes! The bad news, well, see for yourself: First pipe is another Preben Holm, listed as "Fancy" "100" and "C5." Unfortunately, the stem is broken off in the lower part of the pipe: The second pipe is...
