THE JARL BRAND IS A LITTLE KNOWN PIPE- | ''"THE JARL BRAND IS A LITTLE KNOWN PIPE-MAKER IN DENMARK, THAT WAS STARTED BY "JARL CHIEFTAN". HE ALSO MAKES OTHER BRANDS OF PIPES, "CHIEFTAN" AND "MR. ANDERSON". HE GAINED HIS PIPE-MAKING EXPERTISE BY BEING AN APPRENTICE TO "SIXTEN IVARSSON". HE STARTED BY CLEANING, POLISHING AND REPAIRING PIPES AND THEN AFTER TWO YEARS BEGAN MAKING PIPES. HE DID THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS UNTIL HE OPENED HIS OWN PIPE-MAKING SHOPPE."'' | ||
Thanks for your input! | |||
Now, if "Jarl Chieftan" was the maker of the "Mr. Anderson" pipes, his real name would be '''[[Jørgen Larsen]]''', who started his label "Jørgen L." in the early 60's. Being one of the very best Danish carvers ever, he surely didn't waste his time on such crudely rusticated pipes with 4 digit series numbers... | |||

I really doubt "Jarl Chieftan" is / was a natural person at all. Of course "Jarl" is used as a first name, but basically "jarl" is the synonym of English "earl" throughout the Scandinavian countries. The term comes from the Viking language and was used up to the High Middle Ages. Then the jarls began to call themselves "dukes". Mostly a jarl was appointed by a king to govern and to defend a border region. So, there is a strong parallel to the meaning of the term "chieftan" (leader of a tribe, leader in wartimes) as well. | |||

The pictures Nrs. 1 - 3 show '''Jarl''' pipes. Espesially 1 and 2 seem very, very similar to Nr. 4! And that's a '''Royal Danish'''-- hence a second made by '''Stanwell'''! | |||
Surely, asuming Stanwell as maker of Jarl pipes is still a hypothesis. But a big producer of serial pipes appears to be more evident than a pipemaker working solo. (BTW, Jørgen Larsen managed the Stanwell pipe production for a while being the successor of his uncle Johann Larsen.) | |||
