【Dr.Grabow】美國早期量產煙斗製造大廠出品，石楠木製作直式煙斗。

1932年成立於芝加哥(已接近百年)，是美國製造銷量最大~煙斗製造廠。

燃燒室與斗缽口沒燒蝕碳化崩塌情形，斗嘴手工打磨~烏黑晶亮沒咬痕。

斗長 : 14.8，   斗高 : 4.7，   斗寬 : 3.8，   斗口 : 2.1 公分。

此斗已整體手工打磨大翻新、染色、做膜完畢，外觀平整~鏡面效果優。

選材與木紋非常漂亮(量產斗也常有寶可撿)，只因其有砂孔~被迫下放。

煙道頭段為3mm鑽孔，金屬半圓榫頭濾心6mm設定，斗嘴末端以2mm收尾。

該廠歷史資料超豐富，附上早期該廠其他斗型和簡介.....分享如下 :

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.
