OK I'll try to answer some questions.
By ancient I mean the carbon dating result was 500 years old.
Makes sense, as the pipe came from the same wreck and it's charted as a vessell that sank over 500 years ago.
The ampules are in wax, so they can be easily removed if needed.
They came from the Prince David that sank during WW1 ferrying medical supplies.
They made a movie about it called "The Deep" and in the movie they recover some ampules.
We have the real ones from the real shipwreck.
I personally believe the pipe is worth more because no matter how hard I look, I can't find a pipe that old anywhere in this country.

My wife did the diving with her first husband, they were on Bermuda working for NASA at the tracking station.
Here's the pipe.

Never seen a green ginger beer before. Great lables on them. The amber Codd's have got to be worth 100 bucks each at least. The company that made them was in England so they were fairly expencive to use and colored Codd's are not common. William Hudson used them for a while in Pensacola.

Why do you call the white bowl a pipe? Asking because of the thing that goes in it. Looks like some type of mortar and pestle.

The thing that goes in it is a tapper to tap down tobacco.
The wooden stem has rotted away over the centuries but you can see where it was wrapped around the pipe and where it went into the pipe to draw smoke.

Last photo of pipe.

But..........back to my original question, where do I start to price these items so we can sell them? We're getting old and poor.
Due to a number of reasons we have decided to sell since the past 20 years these items have laid up un storage anyway.
