Today Fribourg & Treyer is remembered primarily for its' snuff and tobaccos! They supplied tobacco to pipesmokers around the world, and much like Drucquer's in California and Garfinkel's in Washington, D.C., their oldest blends are still vigorously pursued by knowledgeable pipesmokers today whenever they make a rare reappearance on eBay or elsewhere! (However, Fribourg and Treyer snuff and tobacco are still readily available throughout the world made by other tobacconists.)

With the Estate Market flooded with recent production "Astley's" stamped pipes (thanks to the "new" owner of Upshall who bought the Astley's stamps at a "boot sale" and converts endless numbers of estate pipes into "Astley's"), the value of Astley's pipes has plummeted. Knowledgeable collectors are turning to FRIBOURG & TREYER Pipes (as well as Poole and Smythe, George Smith and Son, H. Simmons etc.) for English Pipes made by the GREAT LONDON PIPEMAKERS of the past but bargain-priced compared to offerings stamped with the manufacturer's name!
8/2/13:  the person making this assertion above should offer proof that this has occurred.  If not, it should not be taken as fact.
