Not only were they authorized, they were sold at Disneyland along with Disney tobacco.
What we have here is the same product, coming off the same production line, with minor changes, marketed through 2 different channels. one more expensive and one cheaper.
Also, have you ever had a beer or eaten at Disneyland? Tobacco is cheap compared to that nonsense. Lol.
Like every other pipe brand but can you tell the difference between the two? You said even a neophyte could.

I presume this would have been a high end item back in the day given the amount of bling.

You are showing me the same product marketed in 2 different ways. Still they have different qualities of mouthpiece, tinting and printing. But I was referring more to the difference between a Dr Grabow and a Savinelli. Also I said "the difference between a 50 pipe and a 100 pipe" I did not say "the difference between any 50 pipe and any 100 pipe" so as to have to justify any comparison that occurs to you.
Rinaldo makes some of the finest pipes I’ve had the pleasure of smoking.
I don't know that the two following pipes are exactly high end, but for me they are important pieces in my motley pile.
First off, a pipe celebrating Lindbergh's epic Atlantic solo flight. It's part of a long tradition of commemorative pipes.
The next one is a little bit less obvious, but no less a historical artifact. This Sasieni 8 Dot has a year hallmark for 1941. The other markings on the bowl indicate that it was made in the 1920's.
When shipments of briar came to a stop early in the War, makers scrambled to find supplies and to search their storage for briar they could turn into product. My guess is that this pipe was shelved for a flaw and was reworked, fitted with a sterling olive, and sent across the Atlantic to the US in the middle of WW2.
Perhaps consider the larger implications of what this represents.

In not saying so you did. Didn't think you could tell the difference.
A few more photos.

That does surprise me. I believe I can fix this for you. Just get me a couple of addresses and you will have the worlds best collection. I know some guys. lol
Tex, those are just sick. You have some amazing tastes in pipes. Thanks for showing us some top of the line pipe porn.
I don't know if my pipes quality as high end or not. The majority of my collection are Castellos, but at the same time most are Searocks and none are smooths, let alone fine straight grains. So, I have a bunch of pipes made my the best maker (in my opinion) but they are the lowest grade they make. Oh dear me, what to do... what to do???
