I believe Harcourt was at one time exclusively sold through Dunhill stores, and were the manufacturers of the Danish-style Dunhill straight-grains that were manufactured in the 1970’s and early 1980’s to keep with the current market trends.

The brand Harcourt was produced by Preben Holm (†) for Dunhill to secure a share of the Danish fancy boom for Dunhill's principal pipe dealers. Later Erik Nørding made Harcourt pipes for a shorter period. These pipe are sometimes (partially) rusticated.

It had been reported that the second generation of Harcourt pipes were sold exclusively through Dunhill stores, but we now know through Rich Mervin that the Brick Church Pipe Shop, a chain of 3 stores in NJ sold Danish freehands in the 1970s and 80s including Knute, Ben Wade, and Harcourt. They were also an authorized Charatan and Dunhill retailer. So, apparently Harcourt freehands were sold through at least some Dunhill dealers as well as the Dunhill stores.


Apparently the Harcourt brand name was also used by another English maker. If you have any additional details about these pipes, please add them here, or send them to sethile.pipes@gmail.com and we can add them for you.
