But all the same, Celius wasn't able to make this periodically big success an enduring success. If this depended on mercantilistic deficiencies or if the often claimed minor quality of the bulk of his pipes caused the decline, will presumeably remain an unanswered question. As well it mustn't be disregarded that there were mighty - if not superior - concurrents in the field of mainly machine-made semi-freehands like the manufactures of [[Erik Nørding]], [[Karl Erik]] (†), [[Preben Holm]] (†), [[Søren]] and others more. Celius moved away from Bogø around 1970 and sold his shop and the Celius name to a man named Randsborg who continued with the business until 1975-76, when he closed the shop. Durring this period some of the Celius pipes were also stamped '''"Randsborg"'''. | But all the same, Celius wasn't able to make this periodically big success an enduring success.

One of Celius's original employees was a pipemaker by the name of Henning Andersen who worked part time with Celius during his second run in the business. Andersen's son, Stig related an account that his father helped with the Celius pipes as well as a small production of handmade pipes for Stanwell. Anderson also worked along side Celius from the beginning on Bogø and later for Randsborg, making many of the fantasy pipes and other handmades. Many thanks to Stig for his help with this information. | [[File:Celius Andersen.JPG|thumb|300px|'''Courtesy, Stig Andersen''': These these pipes have no stamps but the bottom right pipe was made for him by his father, Henning, and is not a Celius model.

The second period was characterized by many ups and downs, and his success remained inconstant and changeable. He never managed to match the top quality of his teacher Rasmussen or the students of Rasmussen's workshop like Sven Knudsen, Former Nielsen or Tom Eltang. Svend Axel Celius moved to Fyn in the late 1980's and lived there until his death around 1999/2000 | The second period was characterized by many ups and downs, and his success remained inconstant and changeable.
