Franklin St, Chicago IL, 60606. Ideally for those who liked short ways, one of Cellini's locations was across the street from Zimmerman's Liquor Store. The company got it's start in 1927 aided by a friendship between Arthur (Art) Silber and '''Tracy Mincer'''(??) who went for [[Custom-Bilt]] fame in 1934. | ||
Art Silber (also known as the “Art” of pipe smoking) made Cellini a full service Pipe and Tobacco Shop offering tobacco blends and a complete line of accessories as well as an extensive and varied line of pipes ranging from Indian Peace Pipes to porcelain, cherrywoods, meerschaums and hefty sculptured freehands. The Catalogues were nearly 100 pages long - including some cigars, but absolutely NO cigarettes! - primarily pipes and pipe-related products! Cellini Pipes have Good Collectible value of their own commanding good prices on auctions today, developing somewhat of a Cult Following among Collectors. | Art Silber (also known as the “Art” of pipe smoking) made Cellini a full service Pipe and Tobacco Shop offering tobacco blends and a complete line of accessories as well as an extensive and varied line of pipes ranging from Indian Peace Pipes to porcelain, cherrywoods, meerschaums and hefty sculptured freehands.
