How about a "Is this worht anything?" thread.

I will start. My sis has a bunch of these from her MiL and doesn't know if they should go to goodwill or advertise. I said I would ask the smart people.

I would advertise. With Covid lockdowns people were going crazy with baking and cooking. You couldn't find bread flour or yeast to save your life for awhile.

The Mrs. Wagner's pie tins are collectable and seem to sell for around $10 each. Can be decorative and nostalgic if displayed appropriately. Lots on ebay.

A little bit of history if you are old enough to have listened to Simon and Garfunkel back in the day as the "ready made" pies are mentioned in their '68 hit "America." Stopped making the pies in '69.

Large Custom built (never used) humidor, inset clock, digital hygrometer and moisture unit. I dont/won’t smoke cigars so no idea what something like this is worth.

Bottles for scale:

His sis needs to look for the rare "Wagners Peis" mis-stamped tins.

Is this a post for really not knowing what something is worth, or for bragging about things you have and know what they're worth?

I can do either...

That is a very nice humidor ! I would say that considering the times, you could probably get a hundred bucks for it. Typically it could fetch more, but the cigar industry is quite slow right now.

Agreed...the cigar fad died when? 10-20 years ago?
