Bjarne: Difference between revisions

Bjarne made no pipes himself; he was a long time prominent distributor of his own brands of Danish pipes (quite popular in the U. S. A.) and had several Danish pipemakers work for him like [[Johs]] (for the lower priced high volume pieces) and makers like [[Ph. Vigen]] and [[Tonni Nielsen]] for high grade pieces. The cheaper line was stamped "Bjarne" while the highest grades were stamped "Bjarne Nielsen" (never with the pipemakers' name) and graded, from highest to lowest, by the letters: AX, A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I, and J.
