Here is an example of a lower quality Pipe by Lee.
NOS it is a painted on star Lee with awlful rusticated carvings.

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
@condorlover1 Here is an example of a later made Lee with the painted on or gold leaf Stars. It is however, a great smoking pot styled pipe. 
I am currently smoking this
A seven point Three Star Lee with gold filled stars. This moles as well as a later 1930s or early 40s Kaywoodie. When cleaned up and polished, there is no reason a Lee should not be considered a worthy pipe for your collection. There are a few other Lee pipe smokers on this forum other than @Briar Lee I am thankful that he chose to highlight light these pipes and bring them to our collective attention. They are a nice alternative to Kaywoodie or Grabow and much better than Marxman, MasterCraft, or Pipemaker.

One of my favorite Peterson designs
Now smoking year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Surprisingly it’s only 44 grams. I picked this up as an estate at the 2015 Chicago Pipe Show and it consistently delivers an excellent smoke.
I’m hoping to take a trip to Istanbul this summer. I’m eager to see what kind of interesting meerschaum I’ll find.
I think the rustication on these pipes are awesome!
It really is a great design, very comfortable both to hold and clench. The shape does well with a range of tobacco cuts as well. It’s one of my more adorable pipes but also one of my favorites!
KBV Van Gogh in a cob, with an Arnold Palmer to sip on. What a difference a day makes. I’m enjoying this smoke while basking in the sun, out on the porch.
@Bengel - Feel better soon!
I see that one is a 2 Star Lee. I have always found the use of 'Stars' sort of amusing. In the U.K Petrol Stations (gas translated into American speak) fuel was sold as 2 through 4 star petrol. Two Star being the lower octane grade and 4 Star being the higher octane grade. Both my Matchless and my Brough would only run on 3 Star otherwise you would burn out the valve seating and valves. Many Petrol Stations didn't carry 3 Star so you had to buy a gallon of 2 Star and a gallon of 4 Star to get 2 gallons of 3 Star and make sure you shook the tank well to mix it well up. Now if you took a 3 Star Lee pipe and crossed it with a 2 Star you would get .......Lol. Very nice pipe though I must say!
I was at the 2015 Chicago Show when myself and Woodsroad exhibited Standard Tobacco Co of PA. Did you get one of out STOP car air fresheners?
Well wishes to you sir and hopeful for your return to your pipes!
