“House of Robertson” was in business for many years (since the 1940's), but alas, closed their doors in 1999. They were located in Boise, Idaho. They are noted for making rather large and interesting pipes. John Robertson started the shop in 1940 and his son (also named John)started working there in 1970 when he finished college, along with John's daughter. John and his son started making the big pipes at that time and made them together until 1987 when John passed away. John's son kept the store and his sister moved on to other things. The House of Robertson appears to have closed around 1999.
