The Four Hundred was Marxman's best series, characterized by very large pipes. Similarly famous was the Marxman Heirloom Pipes series, with around 80 pieces produced by well-known North American sculptors, such as Jo Davidson, Cecil Howard, Charles Kopp, and RD Lewis, contracted by Bob in 1947. Today these pipes are genuine collector's items. The series included animal and human figures, selling at extremely high prices for the time. | The Four Hundred was Marxman's best series, characterized by very large pipes.
