    Won A 1940s Dr. Grabow: Before and After

    Won A 1940s Dr. Grabow: Before and After

    Linkman used the spade logo on several different lines of pipes before it was used on the Dr. Grabow. In 1944 the Dr. Grabow Pipe Co. was formed as an off shoot or subsidiary owned by Linkman as I understand it. Dr. Grabows made after 1944 are not stamped Linkman and that may be when they...

    Is a Dremel Type Tool Worth Having for Piping

    Anyone Able to Identify this Mystery Pipe?

    Linkmans did make a pipe in that shape,shows as a shape 89 in the 1937 catalog shape charts. They also used a stem inlay like that on the "Courtliegh" line and maybe others. It is not unusual to find an unstamped Grabow product although it is less likely to see an unstamped Linkmans than the...
