The Maxim brand was produced for whole sale company Terella in Hamburg. Terella delivers the Wolsdorff tobaconnist's chain throughout Germany. These pipes were made by Oldenkott and today by Design Berlin.
The Maxim label was (and is, but in smaller numbers) made for the wholesale company Terella in Hamburg. It is particularly (but not exclusively) responsible for delivering to Wolsdorff branches throughout Germany. These pipes were produced for a long time by the Oldenkott company, and stocks from this production were still available long after Oldenkott closed the doors. Today these pipes are preferably made by DB (Design Berlin). In Wolsdorffler circles these pipes do not have the best reputation. Somehow there is something attached to these pipes that is associated with "far too poor quality for far too much money".
[1]
To further elaborate on the companies mentioned: Oldenkott was the second most important pipe maker in Germany (after Vauen) till it closed down in 1992. Their pipes enjoyed - and still enjoy - a very good reputation among pipe smokers. Having a chance today of getting one of them from the old supplies, it is recommended to take the chance. [2]
The other company mentioned, Design Berlin, is still around and they also have a good reputation.
