Point well made and in a way, that is what I'm trying to do now.

I bought them to smoke and seeing them at a swap meet, I didn't have time or a way to figure out what they were worth, but at $2 a piece, I was certain that I wouldn't get hurt to bad and it would be a cheap education.

At this point I'm just trying to have a good idea of what there worth before I put more money into them.

I want some good smoking pipes and with the help and information you guys have given me, I feel that these will be good smoking pipes. Take the Savinelli for instance, if I put $60 into it and add another $12 for shipping, I would have $74 into it and I'm sure it will be a good smoking pipe. I would feel much better having $74 into a $110 pipe than if I had $74 into a $25 pipe.

I don't want to offend anyone, I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going to be spending more to have them restored than I would have to spend if I bought them already restored.

Once again, I want too thank everyone for their help.
