CLICK HERE
I've scanned and uploaded a 1960-1961 catalog from The David P. Ehrlich company of Boston, MA

This is so much fun to browse through...
Enjoy!

I'll take three of the Leavitt and Pierce Assortment, please.

That is going to be a bit tricky.

Here is 207 Washington Street today:

That's great!

Wow what a great post, it was fun to read all those ad's.

I

would love to see prices like that again.

would love to see prices like that again

Ah, yes.

But...would you want 1960 wages as well?

when it comes to tobacco prices it's all about being punitive through taxes, back then it was a kinder gentler nation for smokers.

A great post. I was an Ehrlich customer in the '80's, ordered their tobacco by the pound. They made some nice pipes too. I think I have at least one of every grade, not by design, but because of keeping an eye out for them in the estate market.

Thanks for sharing that, it was neat to look back at the selection and the enthusiasm for pipe smoking.

I watched this on eBay for a while, then decided that I may never see another offered for sale, and I bought it. Probably paid too much for it, but I thought that if I put a good quality pdf scan out there for everyone to enjoy, then it would worth it.

That's a different Washington St, here's where they were talking about:

The neighborhood looks a little better, but I don't think that Mr. Ehrlich, should he return, would know where he was.

Great tobaccos. I still have jars of their DPE Mixture, Cake Box Mixture, and one not listed called Pemberton Mixture. Leavitt & Pierce is still in business, Ehrlich is long gone.

Fun read! Thanks for posting...

Great post! Love the catalog! Ehrlich made some great pipes! One of my desert island pipes is an Ehrlich.

 

[JimInks]

Forget it fellas. At the bottom of the last page, it says "Prices subject to change without notice." :laughat: Gougers!!!!

 

[gnesiohamartolos]

Thank you very much for making the effort of sharing. I am smoking a D. P. Ehrlich straight pot meerschaum carved sometime after this catalog. It has a 14kt gold shank band. Anyone have an Ehrlich-Leavitt & Peirce catalog from the late 1960s or early -70s?
