Garfinkel

A. Garfinkel's was a celebrated Washington, D.C. tobacco retailer started back in 1968. In 1972, author Hugh Sidey wrote in Newsweek Magazine that while interviewing then President Richard M. Nixon he spotted some pipes and a tin of Garfinkel tobacco on Nixon's desk. Garfinkel's closed in the early 1980's. His pipes are stamped A. Garfinkel, Wash D.C. are some are marked Algerian Briar and others simply Imported Briar, and many seem to be Made in France. Probabably a "house brand" marked pipe, though some tins of tobacco do show up on Ebay as well as the pipes.
