Cellini, or better, the Cellini Pipe Shop was owned by '''Art Silber''', who is said to have made pipes himself once upon a time. (Ideally for those who liked short ways, Cellini was next to Zimmerman's Liquor Store in the heart of Chicago.) | Cellini, or better, the Cellini Pipe Shop was owned by '''Art Silber''', who is said to have made pipes himself once upon a time.

Silber had his own brand Cellini manufactured by a small factory named '''Victory Pipe Craftsmen''' (likewise Chicago). The most important pipemaker there was '''Primo Polidori'''. | |||

But as well they made unbelievably beautiful freehands in superior quality – many of them bearing the Cellini stamping. | The mainstay of Victory Pipe Craftsmen were kind of imitations of pipes like '''[[Tracy Mincer]]’s''' widely known peculiar carvings.
