WOW!! 8O
Where does one look to find estate sales and whether or not they may contain tobacco related items for sale?
Also ... that Cob is really cool!

Nice find. The tins may be the prize, but the pipes look in good shape too. Was this an antique shop, a yard sale, flea market?

A pipe smokers wet dream comes true!
I'm so happy for you.
Few outside of our exclusive little group could possibly imagine the gratification value of coming across such a stash. God bless the soul that left such a treasure behind as I'm sure he'd be very happy to know it found a good home.
Congratulations!

Nice find! I especially like that cob! I wish they still made them like that these days...

The sale was from the estate of a gentleman who passed away, from items in the sale, I gathered he was a psychologist, not sure of his specialty. I also believe he was a holocaust survivor. Would have loved to have met him before he passed, there were so many interesting items left behind. I'm sure he had some amazing stories.
