<blockquote><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.

The offer extends from low-priced models to first-class handmade freehands.</q></blockquote> | <blockquote><q>'''Anton Manger''' was born as son of a farmer in Wollbach / Rhön.
