The First Edition Norm Thompson Pipe Catalogue (right column of this article) was likely a publication that was a product of Peter Alport, as the slogan "Escape From The Ordinary" (a slogan credited to Alport) is clearly seen in the publication. No date can be seen on the publication, but we conclude it is 1ate 1960s to early 1970s. Of interest, is the evidence of collaboration between Norm Thompson and Charatan, with Charatan credited with making the Norm Thompson "Regent". This would have been during the Lane Era. It is also likely that Norm Thompson pipes stamped "Made in Italy" were a Norm Thompson - Savinelli collaboration.
