Hans Brandt is a quite forgotten pipemaker, who worked in the periphery of the legendary Copenhagen pipe shop '''Pibe-Dan'''. Very beautifully made, usually rather delicate freehands. Father of pipemaker [[Fred Brandt]] and son of pipemaker Frederik Brandt, who made pipes stamped "FBR".

The 1976 Iwan Ries catalog includes this description accompanying a photo of 5 Hans Brandt pipes: | |||
"'''shape conformed'''.. meet old-fashioned quality in new fashioned shapes - luxury that's unexpectedly practical! Original..perfectly proportioned! A-B Quality, natural finish..proficiently hand-made in Denmark, only for us. IRC originals..by Hans Brandt..highly talented Danish craftsman. Proud examples of the finest in pipemaking expertise - always ahead of tomorrow, with more devotees every year! Shapes G11 thru G15 - no 2 exactly alike. 24T68-2 $55.00" | |||
That price is roughly $250 in 2020 dollars. They appear on the same page with 2 other "A-B quality" lines of pipes; Savinelli Autographs retailing for $110, and a new line of Danish fancies by Andersen going for $90. | |||
