Does anyone here collect Danish Pipes?
Terry Gilkison
newsgroup that I'm beginning to wonder if anyone in the group collects
Danish pipes.
If so, let me know which brands you have.
Thanks,

Tim Wisner
I do have the more affordable Danish products, Karl Erik, Stanwell, and Nording.
Many here in the group have much more extensive collections of the Great Danes.
Enjoy,

> I do have the more affordable Danish products...
Wouldn't say I collect them, but about a quarter of my pipes are Danes.
Just over half of these are mid- to high-grade such as Nielsens (both
Kai and Viggo), Preben Holm, handmade Larsens etc.. I also like some of
the lesser known Danish artisans like Lund and Refbjerg, whose products
are very affordable.
Then I have the usual "working pipes" from Denmark: a few Stanwells and
Jensens, two Bjarnes, a Nording etc.. I also have a Bentley, designed by
Former and produced by his firm, but made in Switzerland. Excellent
smoker, but what is its nationality?

I don't really collect them, but I own quite a few. Of course I have a
couple of Stanwell (yeah, Martin !) and Larsen pipes. Moreover I own pipes
made by Tom Eltang, Peter Heeschen, Peter Hedegaard, Kent Rasmussen (well, I
hope it arrives soon), Kurt Balleby, Preben Holm, Ingo Garbe, Kai Nielsen,
Eric Andersen, Ph. Vigen, Bang, Tao, Poul Winslow, Jörn Larsen and Jess
Chonowitsch.

To answer your question. YES, YES, YES! , I do collect Danish pipes &
apparently I can't stop!. I have several pipes (and in some cases more than
several) pipes by all the makers mentioned by Erwin. I have a great fondness
for them. They make me happy. Just for your info...they don't ALL smoke
great, most do though. In fact the majority remain unsmoked ( I know....boo,
boo from all the "smoke 'em if you got 'em people). I like the way the look
.. the engineering and they have a certain "feel" that I can't describe that
attracts me to them... At least the ones I own..BTW, I have pipes by the
Italians and Germans and hope to add a few American makers that fit my
style.Oh yeah and I love Ashtons too.

out that most of the ones I have which I thought were Danish were made by an
American trained up in the Danish style. I can't be mad about it. He had
good teachers, and I love his work. Of course, I'm talking about Mike

The only maker on whose' web-site I keep a close watch is Kent
Rasmuessen . His work I collect , but both selectively and judiciously
, for after a while some of his shapes are simply a variation on theme
, and once you get the basic shapes ( about twelve ) the rest seem
like repeats with minor and cosmetic variations ; a short coming with
most free hand craftsmen .
Stanwell produces the off collection pipe ever once in a while and
those are great pipes to both smoke and collect . Karl Erik are good
smokers and interesting shapes , but are not exciting enough to
collect , as opposed to buy for regular smoking purposes . H

After a fashion, yes. I have a growing collection of Stanwell Vikings and Boas. The
other Danish makers are all W A Y outta my price range. The bulk of my collection seems
to have turned towards Autographs, Ser Jacopo, and Ferndown.

No Kabik was just Svenlar. Wenhall was something else entirely. MT

bargain.I now only have a couple left and wish I had more.One of the two
I have is a huge,beautifully shaped,unstained, completely flawless
straight grain that I paid $35.00 for in the 70s. I could not imagine the
price of a pipe like this in todays market.Damn good thing I got all
these old,high quality pipes,I'd hate to start over with today's prices.

No worries, Tarek, I also buy German, Austrian, English, French and American
pipes. I hope now you're reassured.

coveted since 1986. Not constituting a collection, but the path down the
slippery slope starts with a single step. Plus I deeply desire a certain
horn by Tom Eltang.
Being of limited means, I simply copy the pictures from the web to a folder
on my PC called "Pipes". Sort of vicarious collecting, they don't smoke
well <g>, but they are affordable!

means I collect Danish pipes. Between the Wade and Holm freehands there
must be at least six in my rack, not to mention the "straight" shapes that
are supposedly Charatan seconds. Oh and one Stanwell and one Larsen.

I m not exactly sure of the origins of Wenhall. But I knw if it s
demise. I t was bought up by Bert Gottfried and a partner, Mel
Rosenberger comes to mind, tho that may not be correct and I think
even Elliot Nachwalter became involved in it. As for awhile they were
having Wenhall pipes made in Italy as well as pipes that bore the Briar
Workshop logo which was Elliots but were going to be distributed by
Mel and Bert. Anyway, Bert and Mel got in a whole lot of legal
trouble in the 80 s and the company folded so ended Wenhall. MT

Lars! Hvorden går det, min ven? It's really great to have join this
thread!
For those who don't know Lars, his website is fantastic - a repository of
information (and beautiful pictures!) on Danish pipes and pipe making.
It's worth spending some time there drooling over the photos... He's got
a wealth of knowledge, too, and knows all "the guys" over there.
And he's not a bad guy, despite his rather peculiar accent.
I was ACTUALLY just getting ready to post some of my own thoughts on
collecting Danish pipes (I do), but I haven't yet cooked dinner, and the
guests are already arriving...

Mr. Kiel has also been wonderful about answering my questions about a certain
new Danish pipe maker whose work intrigues me. I'm hoping that he will be
bringing more pipes by Knud Bech to Chicago this year. Mr. Kiel's table will be
one of my first stops.

I'm interested in seeing how Bech's work is progressing. I've got one of
his early pieces, and it shows a lot of promise. Lars and I had a little
conversation about this guy in July, while we were visiting Kent. Part of
the fun of seeing the "new makers" is watching them come along. I, too,
will be anxious to see what Lars brings to Chicago.
I've also found some real gems in some of the old, less known, at least
today, Danish makers of the past. Gert Holbek did some really nice
things, and had a unique style. Ib Loran had a trademark shape, and made
some nice pipes. A fellow named Bensen, I believe, made the Benner pipes,
many of which are quite interesting. The two that I have are very nice
pipes. (Thanks to Per, and the Evil One from the great white north.)
Speaking of which, Per Bilhäll also has a nearly encyclopaedic knowledge
of the Scandinavian pipe and the makers, as does Jakob Groth, both of
whom will be in Chicago. And, of course, Per's site is a great source for
some great pipes. (www.scandpipes.com)
Pipe making in Denmark has quite a history. From Sixten Ivarsson and Poul
Rasmussen to the present, there's quite a lineage of great makers, most
of whom can trace their roots back to one of these two grandfathers of
the artisan pipe world.
I've got many of the classics represented in my collection, and most of
the newer makers. Whenever I look at the pipes on my desk, waiting to be
smoked, or waiting to be put away after being smoked, it's always an
assortment of Danish pipes, a few classic English pieces, and the
occasional "other" pipe. Right now, it's two Heeschens, two Hedegaards, a
Balleby, a Tsuge, three GBDs, a Loewe, a Random and a Ruthenberg. My desk
is a mess...

Greg, as to Knud Bech, I've been smoking that little squat bull that I picked
up in Chicago last year from Lars and it is one hell of a fine smoking pipe.
As we've discussed before, he does show a lot of promise. Hopefully he's had a
good year. And, hopefully Lars will bring a good amount of is work as well as
the work of other lesser know Danish pipe makers.
As to pipes that seem to collect, in my greatroom on my "being/been smoked
shelf" I have one Heeschen (a cobra), two Kents, a Knud Bech, a McGrath, a
Lindner, an Ascorti, a Safferling, a Winslow and a Wolfgang Becker.
Life is good.

Having had just about every Wolfgang Becker I wanted fairly plucked from
my grasp by that scoundrel Ed Mitchell in Chicago, I'm happy to say that
I FINALLY have one, a lovely smooth in a contrast stain. Stellar
workmanship, beautiful cut, and a great smoking pipe. It was on the desk
last week, along with a Benner, a Sixten (a tiny little peewit blast,
perfect for stronger VA flakes), a Chonowitsch and a Stanwell.
More often than not, there's a Roush on the desk as well, but I shouldn't
mention him, or Wolfgang for that matter, since this is about Danish
pipes. I'd better not mention Sweden's Bengt Carlson's amazing pipes,
either. We're an eclectic lot, eh?
I think it's time to break out my Kent cobra for a little post-lunch
puffing. While I'm at it, I'd better clean up the desk...
Cheers,
