  1. I would say Center too.

    Silver can be added long after the pipes are made.

    OK, Gord, Here we go:

    1. 1938 Peter Henderson

    2. 1969 R G Hardie

    3. 1940 to 1948 Hector Russell (sorry I can’t narrow it down much).

    Fingers crossed!

    Thanks,
    Stewart

    Having some second thoughts. I think the first one is a Robert Reid set with Peter Henderson silver from 1938.

    Thanks,
    Stewart

  4. With Set 1, though I’m inclined to think it’s older, I’m going to go with Lawrie circa 1934 (slides – very grainy though) with Peter Henderson (1938) silver for caps

    Set 2. 1969 R G Hardie

    Set 3. 1946 Hector Russell (blind guess).

    Cheers

    George

  5. Ist set , Lawries, 1910

    2nd set , Roberttson J. 1915

    3rd set , Tweedie, 1973

  9. Set 1 – 1910 Henderson

    Set 2 – 1920 Henderson

    Set 3 – 1935 Henderson

  10. I think they are 1957 Henderson’s.

  12. 1970′s Sinclairs.

  13. 4th Guess – 1905 Lawrie’s

  14. Stab in the dark – I’m thinking 1915 Henderson.

  15. This set makes me think of a late set by Center Ca 1910.

  16. 60′s Sinclairs.

  17. John Center, or Henderson, early 20th century.
