Was wondering if you still have the set you mentioned and was wondering what you are looking to get for them? Very interested. Thanks!
I just picked up this LHS Certified Purex #14 for my LHS collection and was curious if anyone else has come across one with the red, white and blue dots on top of the shank. I know they supplied a large number of pipes to the troops during WW2 and thought maybe this was some type of commemorative pipe put out after WW2. Any info would be much appreciated....

Just found one in an antique shop here in Anchorage today. An Ultra Fine shape 54 Zulu, meer lined with 14K gold band. Needs some serious cleaning up, particularly the chamber, but we'll see how it goes.
I have a box of pipes that I bought to use as "training aides". I didn't want to practice restoration techniques on my Petersons or Vauens so I bought old dirty pipes at yard sales and antique stores and put them in a box. I had a bunch of orphaned stems and bowls that helped me learn and feel comfortable working on my nicer pipes. I'd never really looked at what was in the box. Recently I pulled out a nice Kaywoodie 12B that has become a regular in my rotation. Last weekend I pulled this out. It was grungy, tarnished and the stem was multi colored. I cleaned the bowl then filled it with salt / alcohol overnight and soaked the stem in Oxiclean. I spent a few minutes buffing and waxing to get to this point. I think I'll spend some more time on the stem, but I'm going to smoke it first. The only markings are on the bottom "Sterncrest LHS Imported Briar" and " Sterling Silver LHS on the band. I have no idea as to age or model number.

Bringing this LHS thread back to life with a small Group 2, great as a Flake pipe.
Just updating this thread
This thread inspired me to look for a Sterncrest
This Lovat has a chimney condenser rather than the more common metal stinger
