I've found quite a few pipes in antique stores and rummage sales that were very nasty and gunked up. A good cleaning (sometimes two cleanings

) was all most of them needed. One of them turned out to be damaged beyond use once I got the gunk removed but under the funk on the other ones lived pipes just waiting for a second chance.
A good cleaning with the right products will leave you with a sanitized pipe.
