    My buddy called me yesterday and told me to come pick up a lot of pipes that he had. From what I looked up, I think several of these are called Lumberman's or Canadian as they have the longer oval stems???....

    Technically, the canadian is the long, oval shank with a taper stem. The Lumberman is the same with a saddle bit (step-down).

    You have a calabash, a couple of cased meerschaums, what appears to be a Savinelli Guibleo d'Oro lumberman (natural carve), a Hilson type leather clad. Couple of old gimmick pipes, etc. Great haul! Is 20 pipes right?

    Can you list the nomenclature? I'm especially interested in the pipes at the top and sides (right and left) that have briar inserts on the stems. The pipe on the right (that I refer to) is the large freehand, part bent with the top of the pipe looking like it's mushrooming out. The one on the left is a tall, light angle, rusticated dublin (carved). I might be able to tell you something about many of the pipes but these two piques my curiosity in particular.
