Need Help With Kaywoodie And Italy Pipe

[indianafrank]

The top pipe is a Kaywoodie Red Root. The bottom pipe reads "Italy." There is no other distinguishing mark on it.
Are they worth anything? Worth cleaning up? Anyone interested in them? If so PM me.

Not sure about the bottom pipe. I sold an unsmoked Kaywoodie Red Root billiard a few months ago for $30 on eBay.

As loomongous's experience shows, Red Roots are not particularly valuable. You might restore both just to find you worked for a sweatshop wage. I would try selling them unrestored first to see if you can make a little profit.

An estate Kaywoodie Red Root attracted me way back when I started.

I paid less than $20, thank goodness. I didn't really know how to smoke then, so I made it gurgle all the time, which became none of the time as I left it alone.

I went back to it after picking up on cadence with better results, but, it is still kind of a pain to clean out after a smoke.

I hadn't wanted to cut the stinger in order to preserve its originality for possible resale.
