I'll start of with a few from my collection. These are all made in France, which is late 50's thru 60's before they moved to the US. I refurbished these, recently finishing the poker on the bottom of this pic.

Sorry, no photos, but I have three Iwan Ries house pipes made by Benton, a subsidiary of Edwards, of Algerian briar said to be oil cured. One is a big-bowled Canadian, then a billiard which has quite a big chamber, and finally a pocket pipe in a more-or-less Oom-Paul configuration. Iran Ries then went to Savinelli as a house pipe source, and now has pipes by Genod. The Bentons have held up extremely well. They are smooth finished, with a few subtle fills, and Vulcanite stems, all done with good workmanship and a light stain.
my only US made Edwards.. a neat calabash. Two ginormous pipes on the bottom:
Is Edwards still making pipes in Texas, or Tampa? Or did they close years ago. I never see them for sale new.
Not sure. They brought a huge stash of Algerian briar with them when they moved to the US, probably used all of it by now.
three little doggies.. Top one, 720, I just finished refurbishing. Stem was in bad shape but polished ok.
Middle 720-L, and bottom 720-M were bought together from the same lot, very lightly smoked and in excellent condition.. just an easy clean and polished the stems.
Next up to be refurbed.. sandblast meerschaum lined, 720-L.

A 3/4 bent billiard, or Oom-Paul (not clear on the precise difference).
