'''Carl B. Weber''' was a German from Bavaria. Aged 21 he emigrated to the USA in 1911. | |||
In 1938 he established '''Weber Briars Inc.''' in Jersey City, New Jersey. Later renamed in [[Weber Pipe Co.]]. | |||
Weber | The firm grew to be one of the giants of American pipe industry focusing itself in the middle price and quality zone. | ||
Trademark: "Weber" in an oval. | |||
Beside that Weber - especially in the years after 1950 - was a most important supplier for private label pipes that went to an immense number of pipe shops. | |||
Alone in New York, exactly the same pipes were found at Wilke's, Barclay Rex, Trinity East, Joe Strano's Northampton Tobacconist in Ridgewood, Queens, [[Don-Lou]] in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn... | |||
Nearly all pipes for Wilke were unstained and many models, for example the "Wilke Danish Bent", could hardly deny originating of Weber. | |||
Among other well reputated pipe makers [[Passante|Anthony Passante]]<ref>[[Passante|Anthony Passante]] († 1994) is frequently confused with [[Pesante|Tony Pesante]]!</ref> worked for Weber. | |||
< | |||
[[Weber Pipe Co.]] owned and manufactured [[Jobey]] pipes - when mainly sold in the USA by the [[Tinder Box]] from 1970's - 80's. | |||
In addition Jobey / Weber bought Danish freehands from [[Karl Erik]] (Ottendahl). | |||
These pipes were offered as '''Jobey Dansk'''. | |||
Ottendahl discontinued exports to the United States in 1987 and in the very same year - obviously only as a ghost brand - Jobey was transferred to [[Saint-Claude]], France to be manufactured by [[Butz-Choquin]]. | |||
'''Carl B. Weber''' is the author of the famous book "Weber's Guide to Pipes and Pipe Smoking". | |||
Apparently Weber also had something to do with Rogers pipes and accessories, as can be seen in the ads and examples below. | |||
