they're common on eBay. IMO they are a cool low buck collectible. Here's a link to well known collector Brian Levin's Disney collection. :shock:

Many were made by storied British makers; Comoys etc. They even used the standard shape numbers

They are unique and a collectible. I've got probably 5 of them now. Just something quirky.

Walt was a pipe smoker, was he not?

That he was.
Disney used to have quite a few movies that had pipes, or tobacco in general, in them; all these remastered ones have those scenes removed.

There used to be 4-5 tobacco shops in the Magic Kingdom, of course they are long gone. However the Cigar Store Indians that stood in front of each one are sprinkled around the park, re-purposed of course with all tobacco references removed.

Such is the movement of anti-smoking zealots in this day and age.

Sad, really.
