About the maker: GBD pipes were the most affordable high end pipe of the 1940's to 1970's.  A rival in quality, design, and price to Dunhill.  Smokers' Haven was the main retail supplier for GBD's until the early 1980's.  GBD produced consistently well made pipes, almost entirely of Algerian briar. In the late 1960's to late 1970's, they introduced the "Collector" and "Unique" lines, made primarily by Horry Jameson who was skilled in freehand design. GBD Pipes are excellent smokers and unique in design.
