The introduction of tobacco from American Indians also brought the clay pipe to England in the mid-1500's. The simple bowl, whose size changed in relation to
the cost and availability of tobacco, evolved into a work of art.
Not wanting to see such a classic tobacco art form end, Wilsons & Company purchased the molds and the Pollock name, continuing the legendary art of clay pipe making. Many of the original hand-pressed molds are still in use. Clay pipes are not only great collectibles but will allow any pipe connoisseur the purest taste of tobacco flavor |

Since Joseph Rodgers registered his trademark in 1682, the Rodgers name has become world famous for producing fine pocket knives. This time they have outdone themselves! From the hand-fitted scales of rosewood, bone and stag horn, to the hand hammered pick, tamper and blade, their collection of Pipe Knives takes pipe care to a whole new level. Their superior construction is deserving of the trademark on each blade. |

| Pewter manufacture was introduced to Britain in the third century by the Romans. Pewter has played such an important part in the English economy that Parliament, in 1503, decreed that all craftsmen strike their maker's mark on each piece made. Known as the pewterer's "Hallmark", our pieces still carry the Sheffield hallmark, a symbol of pride in craftsmanship and quality revered in all of England. Pewter is a fine material for use in tobacco accessories and will add distinctive appeal to any tobacconist's collection. |
