    Dr. Grabow pipes began in production is 1930. The company that made the pipes was actually owned by Mr Brown who was a friend and smoked pipes the actual Dr. Grabow. He was joined by Mr. Linkman and started the company. Dr. Grabow's name was used as they thought using the name of a doctor would help sell the product. It seems they are still around. Now I think they dropped the Dr.
    The Viking pipe is a metal pipe patented in 1954 so this display is after that apparently. The graphics looks 1950s/early 1960s.
    This seems to be pressboard or some wood/paper combination. There are no holes so it must have had a stand. I have it held in by nails underneath and wedged in along the side.
    The Viking Pipe is no longer made and cost about as much as I paid for the display. In fact it seems buying more than one pipe would cost more. My plan is to buy some random vintage looking pipes. It will be great.
