Researching Inherited Pipes for the Family

[MrsLarson]

I'm trying to identify several old pipes us kids inherited that were lovingly smoked by PaPa. Being a "Newbie" to pipes (not research, LOL), any help would be appreciated.
I've been searching Pipedia, Pipephil, and others but am having difficulty dating and identifying a few of his pipes.
I'm looking forward to learning more.
Who knows... I might even get hubby to smoke one for me.?

Welcome on board.

It would help if you could post some photos of the pipes including the nomenclature/marks on them.

I'm no expert but some member here are or are very good at researching.

Photos please. Also don’t overlook PaPa’s old tins of tobacco. They could be worth more than the pipes.

Welcome and good luck with the dating

Welcome to the Forums. Lots of very knowledgeable members here, so hopefully someone can identify the pipes.

Photos are invaluable, as is the nomenclature and hallmarks if silver banded for dating.

Just so you know I will assume (like all farside fans here will) that the Family in question would be named Gary. Don't worry we'll keep it secret and respect his privacy. Just wink in a rapid left right left right pattern if we're right.

Welcome. Post some pics of the pipes and any identifying marks. Perhaps we can help

If you are taking time to do photographs, maybe you could start by giving the text of the stamps on the pipes. This would give an idea of brands, nations of origin, series within the brands, etc. Many pipes have little cash value, but might be of interest for other reasons.
