Weber Pipe Co. owned and manufactured [[Jobey]] pipes - when mainly sold in the USA by [[The Tinderbox]] from 1970's - 80's. In addition Jobey / Weber bought Danish freehands from [[Karl Erik]] (Ottendahl). These pipes were offered as '''Jobey Dansk'''. Ottendahl discontinued exports to the United States in 1987 and in the very same year - obviously only as a ghost brand - Jobey was transferred to Saint-Claude, France to be manufactured by [[Butz-Choquin]]. | |||
