Here's my Main Street tobacco store smoking pipe. Definitely looking a little sad these days. The hat is from about the same time.

Any photos of the actual shop from back in the day?

I find it intersting (and strangely ironic) that while the park has been "sanitized" of the tobacco shop (they seem to have conveniently forgotten that their founder was a pipe-smoker) there is what appears to be a cigar-store Indian (see below) in front of the building.

Brian Levine would be the one to ask.

Mr. Levine seems conspicuously absent from this discussion...

The Disney and LL Bean pipes were made by Briarcraft which was bought by Dr. Grabow in the mid '60's. I have a LL Bean pot that I bought from their catalog in the mid 1970's along with a 1 pound tin of their pipe tobacco. Nice little pipe.
