Kriswill Saga 106

Kriswill was one of the large pipe manufacturers in Denmark during the 1960s and 1970s, and I believe closed around 20 years ago. Their catalog cover read “By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court, KRISWILL, Kriswork Briar Trading, Briar Pipes Hand Made in Denmark.” During the 1960s, a period which represented the zenith of the Kriswill ascension, they were marketed and sold totally independently of Stanwell and, AFAIK, and were never a subsidiary. After the Danish Kriswill enterprise ended, pipes were made in Norway and in France under the Kriswill label.
