USA, 1930s

The history of Briarcraft has begun in 1910 in the State of New York and it was rather short (the company existed till 1950), but really bright and memorable. In the pre WWII years Briarcraft was one of leaders of the USA pipe market, the second manufacturer after the Frank’s Mediko company. Briarcraft pipes were highly appreciated and sold up – thanks to quality of material (the best aged briar from North Africa) and to technical innovations invented by the manufacturer, such as patented Smokemaster technology, which allowed to clean air hole in the process of smoking. This pipe from of the Sterling Hall series is an example of Briarcraft production before the World War II. A hand made collectable pipe!
