Default japanese pipes?

After my grandfather passed I inherited these pipes. Now my gpa never smoked and they do not looked used. Am I right are these tobacco pipes or "other" pipes. I also have not been able to find another ring pipe like the small one here. Any info on what these are would help me alot. Thank you.

Well guess the file size is to large to upload. I will see if I can compress them some. Sorry!

Likely kiseru. Used for smoking kizami (a type of tobacco).

I believe another member here collects these...
