Don't panic :!: Not all of them, just duplicates, and ones I didn't like, as they were straight, & I prefer a bentwood.
Some were Good, but cheap store bought pipes, not marked or stamped.
I sold four to an Asian gentleman. He looked at them, and asked what the hole (Bowl) was for!!?? :o
Obviously never smoked a pipe!

I'm making up an Asian/Englishman accent in my head reading this and having a good giggle. Did you offer to show him how it's done?
