I have never smoked tabacco out of a pipe before but I'm interested in getting into it but wasn't sure if these old pipes were still any good.
Thanks in advance...

Yes they still are good to use. Depending on condition, all you may need to do wipe them off and apply a little carnauba wax on the outside. Or they may need a little more work: Bowl reaming, 151 rum damp salt or cotton ball sterilizing of the bowl, stem oxidation removal, etc.etc....
Pictures of the pipes would be helpful.
