Some interesting chips: | |||
* At the end of the 1980's db made a business contact with '''[[Rainer Barbi]]'''. Barbi was contracted to supply pipes under the label „Manufaktur Berlin“. A sales rep from North Rhine-Westphalia had produced the idea. He wanted to have some very special pipes to offer in his sales territory. Barbi delivered exactly 36 pipes to db, which are stamped „Manufaktur Berlin“ and „design r.barbi“ on the underside of the shank. | |||
* '''[[Karl Erik Ottendahl]]''', the bustling Danish pipe genius, made some attempts to retire from pipemaking after 2000. Doing so he sold the rights of his registered brand "Karl Erik" (logo KE) in Germany to Design Berlin. And following there were Karl Erik pipes with the typical db twin-bore stem. But Karl Erik Ottendahl didn't get away from pipemaking until his untimely death in 2004 and thus he sold his pipes in Germany under his full name. | |||
