Estate sale pipes

There is an estate sale in my neighborhood today, and I walked down before I even had my first cup of coffee. Didn't find any razors or vintage Old Spice, but I did find this:

Now, would you believe that all the above cost me $7? I don't smoke pipes (yet) but I figured this deal couldn't be passed up. The smaller pipe is marked Brewster Imported Briar, and the Meerschaum I don't know anything about except that it was purchased in Switzerland. The rubber seal on the jar is dried out a bit, so I don't know if it has a good seal. I need to figure out what to replace it with. Any ideas, tips or advice is appreciated.
 
And check the canning goods section of your local grocery, they some times carry replacement seals for bail top jars. Lowe's carries gasket rubber in small sheets that can be cut to fit using your old one as a template.
