Marechal Ruchon & Cie. was a company owned by Auguste Marechal and Ferdinand Ruchon ("& Cie" is the french equivalent of "& Co") which owned the GBD brand from the end of the 19th century until 1902 when they sold Marechal, Ruchon & Cie. to Oppenheimer Pipe, which in turn changed the name of the company to Marechal, Ruchon & Co., Ltd.. Upon the creation of Cadogan, however, the brand was no more, remembered only in the name of the GBD Marcee pipes made until just after the Second World War.
For more information see GBD.
