There is just something special when pipes are passed on from one person to the next. It speaks volumes about the generosity and continuity of our little brother(and sister)hood. You now get to add your enjoyment to the enjoyment this gentleman experienced in the past. Maybe one day you could invite this lovely woman over for a cup of tea and fire up a Stanwell with some Erinmore in it and spark a memory for her.
The only thing I see is "sterling silver" on the band , so faded, I could barely make it out. It is an oval shank.
Im having Stanwell related PAD fever,
After seeing this post, I felt all my body are numb with tingling sensation :crazy:
@ smokenscotch, I held you personally liable for my PAD heart attack if you decided to post them after restoration pics...

Smokenscotch nice collection. Judging by the other restores done by members I've seen your pipes will be beautiful when cleaned up.
I have a similar story to yours about growing up in my neighborhood except this neighbor smoked cigars. In the summers I spent time with my grandpa in his paint shop behind his house where he hand lettered signs. This gentleman always showed up in his pressed whites and khaki pants and always smoking a cigar. He lived the next street over and would walk back the alley to my grandpa's shop. Of course he passed away many years ago but the scent of a cigar always brings back those memories from my childhood.
Well it's been a month now at least one of them must be ready for display? :D
