All,

I know next to nothing about pipes and would like some help identifying some of my Dad's pipes.

1) The first one is a bent pipe by BJARNE. Most of it is smooth, with a rustic (rough) patch on the font of the bowl, and then the top of the bowl is also rustic.

2) The second pipe is a Calabash by Maurizio. It is also a bent pipe, but this one is all smooth. The bowl builds up and outon teh rim, almost like it has a lip on it.

I guess what I am looking for here is any information you can give me on the pipes and makers. Are they any good, etc..?

I also want to bring them back up to life, make them smokable again. They ahve ot been used for aroudn four years. What do I need to do to them so I would be able to smoke them? Any suggestions on that would be helpful too.

Thanks!!!
Matt
