Anyone know their pipes?

[Brett]

Wife got these when her father passed and she was looking for some info on them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.




This one says "Hole in one 8. 5. 27"

They look to be carved from Walnut Burl wood. No idea of who carved them... The skull one is pretty unique.

Do they show brand names on the stems of the burl? ...or on the bits?

A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and a fool something to stick in his mouth. I think they are carved out of Grecian briar burl.

There appear to be some on there, but they are pretty worn from use. The skull is marked Briar and the band on the bit says starling silver, I'm pretty sure the bit is ivory. The Hole in one is marked aged Bruyere 07 and DPrincess Ray Woodie w/ a clubs symbol on the bit.
