[QUOTE="ftrplt, post: 585570, member: 32"] Old GBD's (firsts, seconds, and shop pipes) are pretty much exclusively Algerian briar. I own a slew of them from the '60's when I worked in a B&M pipe/tobacco shop. Bertram's pipes are all Algerian IIRC. Several of the Ropp series briars available on Smoking Pipes are NOS Algerian, many with horn stems. I can't say for sure that old Wilke's and/or Ehrlich's were made with Algerian or not. But due to the time-line, I'd wager they are. Algerian was abundant and easily procured during those days. Dunhill, BBB, Barling, Comoy, etc. all used Algerian for some or all of their pipes. I have several "no-name" briars all stamped "Imported Algerian Briar" or just "Algerian Briar." I've never heard of "Rogers." FWIW, FTRPLT [/QUOTE]
