Nice!
A little elbow grease and those can be brought back to very nice looking, sweet smoking pipes, Will.
I've purchased a couple lots of estate pipes from ebay recently, I have so far about 80% of them that are back to smokeable status.
The bits can be cleaned by soaking them in 50-50 bleach water solution for about 15 minutes, then rinse really well. Turtle wax rubbing compound and/or polishing compound works great, I did all mine by hand, but a low RPM bench buffer would be ideal.
Cleaning out the bowls is a bit more involved, maybe google "salt alcohol pipe treatment".
