I will post some pics as soon as I can upload some to photobucket since I can't attach here. May need some advice from nutcracker and a few of you other fellas. I need help identifying a few. They are relatively older pipes including a KAPP I've never seen before. Stay tuned for pics.
Those are the best estate finds. Like a kid in a candy store. Post a pic so we can droll.
You might need to acquire some cleanup gear - will be worth every dime!
Reamer set
Everclear
A gazillion pipe cleaners
Kosher salt
Oxiclear
Magic eraser
Micromesh pads
An ld buffing wheel with a slow motor
Fabulustre
Carnauba wax
Pipe stem oil

I recon you can get all that for $2-300 and it will we well worth eat to clean up all those old ladies.....
