Did a little more research...

The original Halper/Sotheby's Lot contained quite a few of Cobb's personal effects... walking canes, belt buckle, poker chips, pen knife, and actually 3 different pipes (of which this is apparently one).

Interestingly, this is one of the lots not pictured in the Halper Catalogue. So, I suppose someone could switch pipes, and few people (if any) would ever know. A lot of trust is necessary with a lot like this, but it does have good documentation and the initialed "TRC" pouch.

That group lot in Halper sold for $13,800, so its rather hard to determine the value of this smaller grouping. I guess the free-market will dictate what it's worth.
