Adam O'Neill writes for Smokingpipes.com that Dane Craft was a marque of Wenhall Pipes Ltd of New York who contracted Danish and American carvers (such as Michael Kabik and Glen Hedelson in the case of the latter) to carve Danish style pipes for the American market. They were in good company, with Kabik/Hedelson and even Dunhill themselves trying to cash in on the sudden demand for Danish freehands.
