Suprise one: I only thought that there was one pipe...tom cobley, Bewley thirty 139, falcon international. The falcon is brown rather than the standard black and has A D carved into the plain silver part

biggest suprise...its full!!! It is perfectly smokable (need re-hydrating i think but hey ho) but of an unknown origon and age! I tried some in my cob, all I can definatley say it umph hello nicotine...I might try and swap this for something a bit milder on here. There is just over 2oz

Lets see. For less than 24 bucks U.S. you got a drop dead gorgeous old fashioned tobacco stand, a beautiful ceramic tobacco pot, and three pipes - two being a Bewlay and a Falcon?
What a fabulous score!

Paraphrasing Pipedia here: Bewlay was a chain of pipe shops in the UK and their branded burners were blanks from Charatan, Barling and Loewe.
