If you, as a schoolboy, buy a pipe – it has to be a quality pipe, so it must be stamped ”real briar” – it may lead to that you become a pipemaker. And if you have a five year younger brother, who with admiration is watching all his big brother is doing, then you and your brother may become a pipemaker team. | If you, as a schoolboy, buy a pipe – it has to be a quality pipe, so it must be stamped ”real briar” – it may lead to that you become a pipemaker.

Well, it was not exactly like that when Vollmer & Nilsson started making pipes, but it is true that big brother '''Anders''' bought a “real briar” as a schoolboy, and certainly '''Martin''', his younger brother, was watching everything he was doing. But at that time, the two brothers had no plans to make their own pipes. Having finished his studies Anders started to work in a laboratory, and Martin went to the university to study theology. | [[Image:Vollmer & Nilsson2.jpg|thumb|left|Martin Vollmer and Anders Nilsson]]Well, it was not exactly like that when Vollmer & Nilsson started making pipes, but it is true that big brother '''Anders''' bought a “real briar” as a schoolboy, and certainly '''Martin''', his younger brother, was watching everything he was doing.

I wish '''Anders''' and '''Martin''' all the best for the future, and I feel sure there will be opportunities to write more about them later on. | I wish '''Anders''' and '''Martin''' all the best for the future, and I feel sure there will be opportunities to write more about them later on. | ||
