We need more information about Burl King. We can confirm that it was at one time a pipe used for promotion of Borkum Riff tobacco, as reported by Bob Taylor of the Seattle Pipe Club, who mailed in a coupon and received the pipe with a Postmark of Jan. 11, ’78, and a return address of Sparta, N. C., which indicates it may have come from the [[Dr. Grabow]]/[[Sparta Industries]] plant.

There were no other markings other than “Burl King” on the pipe Bob received. The box shipped for 50 cents and the return address said “After 5 days return to P. O. Box 21882 Greensboro, N. CC. 27240.” So apparently these pipes were either made by Sparta Industries, or where at least distributed by them.
We need more information about [[Burl King]]. We can confirm that it was at one time a pipe used for promotion of [[Borkum Riff]] tobacco, as reported by Bob Taylor of the [[Seattle Pipe Club]], who mailed in a coupon and received the pipe with a Postmark of Jan. 11, ’78, and a return address of Sparta, N. C., which indicates it may have come from the [[Dr. Grabow]] / [[Sparta Industries]] plant.  


Others have indicated Burl King pipes were made by [[Wally Frank]] and/or the [[Shalom Pipe Factory]] in Isreal
Bob recently noticed his “Burl King” was also marked, made in Israel, so it was likely made by the [[Shalom Pipe Factory]], though apparently distributed through Sparta Industries.  The box shipped for 50 cents and the return address said “After 5 days return to P. O. Box 21882 Greensboro, N. CC. 27240.” So apparently these pipes were made by Shalom, but distributed for [[Borkum Riff]] by Sparta Industries.
