MacBaren Pipes

[cshubhra]

I picked up a Mac Baren pipe on ebay at a very reasonable price of $11.50 (+combined shipping). While I am waiting for it to arrive in the mail, I started to research about MacBaren pipes. The only reference I found anywhere in the net was from Pipedia where it is mentioned that MacBaren Pipes were produced by Georg Jensen.

Do anyone have any history, or knowledge about MacBaren pipes?
I plan to smoke the pipe, but I really don't care how it smokes - I wanted to buy something in my collection, which I can claim is super rare, and brag that I have paid bottom $ for it.

Mac Baren history is only on the tobacco not on the pipes.

They just ordered some pipes from Georg Jensen and had them stamped Mac Baren

Thank you Jorgen. The way I look at it ... Georg Jensen made wonderful pipes, and some of his hand-made pipes were labeled and sold as Mac Baren - which makes it an oddity.
By the way ... you have a very similar name. Are you related?

 

[jensen]

No, we are not related. The most used name here is Jensen, then Nielsen and Hansen etc etc

Interesting.
So Jensen you're the son of Jen? ::

 

[jensen]

In old days,yes.

Son of Jens,Niels and Hans etc.

An artisanal house pipe, now that is rare.

Cool Jorgensen ... I thought ... a pipe lover with the same name - worth the ask!
Thank you MSO!

I'm real curious. Where did you read that some of Georg Jensen's hand-made pipes were stamped and sold as Mac Baren pipes..?
