Citation, shape 2535

Not much is known about Israel's sole pipe factory though it's reported to have operated quite successfully on international markets.

The mainstay brand was Alpha - especially well known in the USA. Alpha was popular for a range of fresh and unusual shapes. Series (afaik): Caprice (s), Citation (s), Classic (b), Regent, Region (b), Rex (s). (1)

Other brands: Andersen, Fader, Goliath Briar, Trophy

Shalom was taken over by Robert L. Marx (Mastercraft Pipes Inc.) of New York City, later Sparta, NC. Mastercraft continued the Alpha pipes introducing new lines.
