[QUOTE="wojtekpastuch, post: 48107, member: 560"] Hi guys! I just bought four nice GBD pipes. All of them are marked GBD New Era, shape number and L.Lavisse Paris. From I found (basically nothing, just a couple of old ebay listings) I understand that L.Lavisse of Paris was a tobacconist who had pipes made by some companies (also meerschaum) and marked with his name for his shop. Now my question is when did this robacconist work? When did it close? I'd like to know it to help me date these pipes. The meerschaum ones I saw were pretty old so I guess it was one of the old-school tobacconists. Thanks for any help :) I posted the same on pipes.net 'cause I don't think that's an obvious question so if I get an answer there I'll share it with you BOBs :) [/QUOTE]
