Antique Smoking pipe query

    I was looking through our house back home and came across some old smoking pipes that my mother said were given to her sister when she worked in England they have been lying in a drawer since and just wondering if there is a place in Dublin that can value them for me. I have 4

    2 Petersons (Petersons of Dublin) & (K&P Petersons) sterling silver bands, look like bog oak one has a bark like cover not sure what the black stem is made of
    The other 2 I cant make out the name, one is cherry wood with silver band it looks like the word Caval on the wood part.
    The other one is a carved wood bulls head with electroplated band and amber stem its got a stamp of something like RAOR in caps on the wood part

    Just curious to know their age and worth.

    I've a collection of pipes, from 1960's to late 1800's - To be honest, they're not worth much - If I find a pipe smoker, I'll usually sort them out with one - I wouldn't value them at more than 30/40 quid for something in very good condition though, unless they were really unique - Petersons are good quality pipes, but I've not seen much that stands out.
