Camelia is thought to be a GBD second, and was one of many brands owned by the Oppenheimer Pipe group, as evidenced in the following catalog page from a Circa 1950s Oppenheimer Pipes Catalog.

The Pipe shown below was made exclusively for the Au Vizir shop. This had been common practice for St. Claude's pipe companies, and that continues to be the case today. Jeana Chretina's workshop had always been on Poyat street in St. Claude. Today that is just a block of flats--all that remains is a sign on the former workshop building with the name of Chretina's father. This material has been kindly provided by Sébastien BEAUD (GENOD).
