This book tells the story of the first 100 years of Brigham pipes, painstakingly pieced together from corporate archives, historical records, company legend and first-hand accounts from long-time staff at what is now Brigham Enterprises Inc. It is a tale of personal and professional grit, adaptation, invention and survival over three generations, two World Wars, the Great Depression and radical shifts in society’s attitude towards the tobacco industry.
The quintessential collector’s guide, this book lays out not only the chronology of Canada’s most prominent pipe-maker but also never before compiled information on the pipes themselves, including the stamps, grading schemes and pinning patterns used between 1906 and 2006. Also featured is an updated version of the Brigham Pipes Shape Chart and a full list of Limited Edition pipes.
