Good stuff, mate!

You're right... the Oscar is one of Savinellis lines. I have a similar one myself... one of my best smokers. Your second pipe, (the 62), is also a Sav from the stamp logo. Can't tell about the others, but you'll find alot of "Italian Briar" stampings on baskets or house brands. The "YSG" looks interesting. I'll letcha know if I find out anything on the stamping.

Replacement stems can be found in many places online, albeit that they won't have a manufacturers stamp on it... not that that's horribly important. Worse case scenario is that a repair guy can fabricate one with handcut lucite. If you're really feelng plucky you can attempt it yourself, but you'll need some practice and some specialized tools, (like a tenon cutter) to get it tight.

Since your dad is still kicking, ask him what blends he smoked in each pipe and if he found any unusual qualities with the combinations. If he dedicated the combinations, it'll save you from going through a major clean-up v. just spiffing them up a bit.

I'll also offer some services in getting your pipes cleaned up. PM me if you're interested.

I think it's great that these pipes of your fathers are getting some new life for a second generation of pipers! Health to enjoy them!

Cheers!
