These three items all serve the same purpose. No, they are not tobacco pipes.
The first two items were made c.1860.
The item on the right was probably made during the last quarter of the 19th century. It's 10 inches (25.4 cm) long.

Hmmm, are these ear trumpets, to amplify sound for the hard of hearing? Kit
