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 and Dr. Grabow,

described as Bruyere, or Italian Briar.

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.
