1. Very Good. I think this is a horse's hoof? Some discolouration. A few nicks and minor marks around the rim. Small flake or two to be found. 2. Very Good. Discoloured. End of stem looks damaged, but seems to be just crude making. 3. Very Good. Without the usual knob on the end of the stem, it is possible that the end is broken on this? However, the stem is very long, so if it is, it is only a very small part that is. Small flake on end of stem. Tiny flake or two to rim. A few minor scratches and marks. Interesting pipe, possibly a later one. 4. Excellent. Making split to end of stem. Remains of the rest of the stem inside this part. The inner bowl has chunky remains of burnt tobacco. A few little nicks and marks. A fabulous and unusual pipe bowl. Not sure on age, but possibly a little later. 5. Very Good. Highly ornate, not sure if colours are original or touched up? A few little flakes. Discoloured throughout. Actually has some burnt tobacco inside still. Not sure on age, looks reasonably early? Grade: N/A Estimate: $80 - 120
