<q>'''Anton Manger''' was born as son of a farmer in Wollbach / Rhön. He was educated as a wood sculptor and turner. After the early death of his father, he had to take care first of the parental agriculture until his younger brother took over the farming. Throughout the war and postwar years, tobacco pipes were a scarce commodity. Manger began to repair pipes and going from that he developed the idea to establish a tobacco pipe fabrication. In multiyear work, he developed the necessary tools and machines and was able to start with the production in 1957. His goal was, to deliver good pipes at favorable prices. This stragety was obviously sucessful and the business developed well, so Manger could not complain about a lack of orders. The customers appreciate the value in use of his pipes. The offer extends from low-priced models to first-class handmade freehands.</q> | |||
Anton Manger has written several books on the subject of pipes: | |||

On telephone inquiry in February 2006 Arno Manger confirmed that his father is fairly up in his 80’s. Still healthy and vigorous and every day yet in his workshop and working on pipes! On the comment about the positive artistic development of the Manger pipes and the therewith connected question, whether he, the son, or someone else supports the father making pipes, Arno Manger however refused to give a meaningful answer. “These are Manger pipes and that’s all!” and hung up. | On telephone inquiry in February 2006 Arno Manger confirmed that his father is fairly up in his 80’s.

But solid, robust pipes with very acceptable use characteristics. And some of them – by all means – have not only an unusual, but rather an impressive design. With a bit of good fortune on the side of the lucky bidder at more than favorable prices. | ||
