The brand '''Harcourt''' was produced by '''[[Preben Holm]]''' (†) for '''[[Dunhill]]''' to secure a share of the Danish fancy boom for Dunhill's principal pipe dealers. Later '''[[Erik Nørding]]''' made Harcourt pipes for a shorter period. These pipe are sometimes (partially) rusticated.

It had been reported that the second generation of Harcourt pipes were sold exclusively through Dunhill stores, but we now know through Rich Mervin that the Brick Church Pipe Shop, a chain of 3 stores in NJ sold Danish freehands in the 1970s and 80s including Knute, Ben Wade, and Harcourt.  They were also an authorized Charatan and Dunhill retailer. So, apparently Harcourt freehands were sold through at least some Dunhill dealers as well as the Dunhill stores.
