I believe they are faintly marked "Super Grain Kaywoodie" the marking being so faint that the camera can't capture it. picked them up as part of a package deal. they're the only ones i can't come up with info on. Have done some research on kaywoodies but can't seem to find ones that match these.

Port Coquitlam, B.C.
From Pipephil.eu; which may be of some assistance:
The first Super Grains appeared in late 1931 or early 1932. They are the only pipes Kaywoodie produced with the shamrock inlaid in the shank and not on the stem.

The PAT. APP. FOR stamping being canceled in 1932, this pipe is one of the very first Super Grains produced.

Shank embedded logos were stoped by 1938.

Differentiate an early Super Grain from a post WWII Super Grain.

More about the PAT. APP. FOR stamping
This pipe is stamped with a four digit number which situates its production year between 1931 and 1938. Because of the introduction of the "Imported Briar" stamping in 1935, the pipe could have been manufactured between 1935 and 1938.
Pipes with screw-in attachment were produced from late 1929 with the "PAT. APPL FOR" stampings. A test of the design was conducted until 1931 when the SynchroStem patent was granted.
