Quotation of an American pipe dabster: ''"It's a shame to see how a famous old family name can be dragged into the mud by people who want to capitalize on a good reputation earned by men who are long dead. This sad little story was not one of Charatan's or Lane's proudest moments!"''

Herman G. Lane's heirs had no special interest neither in Charatan nor in Ben Wade and sold it to Dunhill Pipes Limited in 1978. Now, [[Dunhill]] had no need of machine-made series pipes like the Ben Wade as performed by Charatan / Lane since their own [[Parker]]-[[Hardcastle]] factory in Walthamstow had abounding capacities to turn out secondary pipes. Thus this was Ben Wade's second end. Charatan's Prescott Street factory was closed by no later than March of 1982 and Charatan was allowed to languish and discontinued in 1988.
