'''Graco''' is the French brand of the former [[Grappin Fils et Cie]] factory. Inexpensive pipes in Algerian wood, and also with skin-coated bowls. Symbol: '''''GRACO'''' in white, silver, or gold (on the best pieces). | |||
It was an autonomous brand, which finished in 1968, but pipes produced in Saint-Claude with '''''Graco''''' (manuscript) stamped on the stem have appeared on the market. | |||
According to [http://www.pipephil.eu/logos/en/logo-g5.html @ pipehill] this brand went out of business in 1968. | |||
