The trade names in Table 4, next, were extracted from various 1890s issues of the weekly British trade magazine, Tobacco. No doubt, there may be some duplication between Table 3 and Table 4 that only more rigorous, more granular research will reveal. In the January 15, 1881 issue of Tobacco appeared “A Complete Directory of The Tobacco Trade in the United Kingdom.” This is the earliest, most reliable list I have encountered. The section titled “Tobacco Pipe Makers” included 92 names and addresses; unfortunately, similar to the problem with U.S. directories, there is no way to determine the product line of each company. And the brand names in Table 4 are absent their associated manufacturers and may be in the product line of one or more of the manufacturers listed in Table 3. | The trade names in Table 4, next, were extracted from various 1890s issues of the weekly British trade magazine, Tobacco.
