Dr. Grabow pipes began with Louis B. Linkman († 1957),

of the M. Linkman and Co. of Chicago in 1932 (Pat # 1 896 800).

Linkman and Co. ceased producing the Dr. Grabow pipes around 1953.

After this date the brand was owned by Henry Leonard and Thomas (HLT), Inc.

of Queens, New York and produced by Sparta Pipes Inc.
In 1969, US Tobacco acquired Sparta Pipes and rights to Dr. Grabow.
Lane Ltd. acquired the Dr. Grabow property from US Tobacco. Lane Ltd.

came under ownership of RJ Reynolds and British American Tobacco in about 2000.
Dr. Paul E. Grabow died in 1965 at age 97.
Production (2006): ~250,000 pipes/year

The earliest Dr. Grabow pipes are stamped with both Linkman's

Pre-1944 model names included the SPECIAL, the DELUXE (this pipe), and the SUPREME.

The Linkman's stamp was discontinued around 1944.

Linkman's Dr. Grabow pipes are also stamped with a 4-digit code indicating the model and shape.

有斗友常問 : 為啥要雕刻成這樣?做光面斗不是很好嗎?這該如何保養?

這種雕刻斗主要在斗缽受熱面雕出凹槽，使手部接觸面積小散熱快作用~

別以為西方人都有如英國紳士細細品味菸草，大老粗照樣一堆嘩嘩的抽~

這樣煙斗容易因菸草燃燒過旺產生高熱，雕刻斗有利於散熱~較不燙手 !

這種斗光面部份如一般光面斗保養，雕刻部份老娘採用豬鬃刷來回刷養。

這是早年刷養古玉珮時發覺..雕刻斗也可如此刷養，事實證明刷養超美。

此斗煙道非常粗勇煙道頭段口採用厚金屬環，不易裂開漏氣而煙斗報廢。

金屬螺旋式榫頭可熱插拔非常方便，可隨時疏通煙道頭段內的阻塞情形。

【一千八百元】復古的煙斗造型非常耐看有品味，老斗迷們千萬把握囉。
