1950's
As many of you may know when we acquired the Wilke Pipe Shop some years ago, a rather extensive inventory of fine natural finish pipes came along with it. These pipes represent an era of production pipemaking that is long gone. Many of these pipes were turned in the original Cadogan GBD factory as well as the famed Arlington Briar Pipe Company of New York.

Keep in mind these have been sitting around for fifty years and are excellent smoking pipes. Most of the pipes are made from vintage Algerian Briar and have already aged to a lovely patina that will only be enhanced with smoking. Here are the last of that offering:

1970's
After the overwhelming response to the 1950's Wilke Briars and the disappointment expressed by many customers that were unable to experience these incredibly satisfying smoking pipes, I went in search of more pipes for my favorite pipesmokers and I was successful, I found a stash of 1970's briars from one the Wilke sisters previous suppliers. There are only a few left.
