[[Masta]] was a brand founded around 1900. When [[Parker Hardcastle Limited]] was formed in 1967, they also incorporated the Masta Patent Pipe Company. From this point this was a [[Dunhill]] / [[Parker]] / [[Hardcastle]] offshoot, primarily for the scandinavian market. The brand no longer appears to exist. Masta was at the end rarely the equal of a Parker. | |||
<blockquote>Masta Patent Pipes Company was founded around 1900 to London. The firm suffered numerous adversities (the factory was destroyed by a bombardment in 1941, during the second world war). the mark Masta was acquired in 1946 by Parker Pipes Co. (Dunhill) and the production continued in the establishment Parker-Hardcastle, next to St. Andrews Road. What the pipes Masta (how Hardcastle and Parker ) can be considered "second lines" of Dunhill (or exemplary not perfect, with defects that cannot be signed from the mother house) is common and very diffused opinion. To this opinion I habitually conform me. It is necessary to specify however that this hypothesis is controversial and it has never been confirmed. The only certainty seems to be that Parker , Hardcastle and Masta belong to Dunhill and the pipes they are produced in the establishment Parker-Hardcastle . Parker and Masta have in common usually forms and numbers of shape.<ref>https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/masta-dunhill-patent-standard-english-292597597</ref></blockquote> | |||
