Danish Estates: S. Bang Sandblasted Stacked Billiard with Boxwood (9M)

Sveng Bang started working as a tobacconist in 1941 and, in 1968, opened his namesake pipe and tobacco store, S. Bang. Although Bang carved some pipes himself, he realized he was not the most talented pipe maker, so he searched for others to work in his shop. After several years of staff turnover, Per Hansen and Ulf Noltensmeier became the permanent pipe makers at S. Bang. The workshop functioned as a place for the two men to work side-by-side, making their pipes by hand and bouncing ideas off of each other. After Bang's retirement in 1984, the two pipe makers decided to retain the S. Bang name, continuing on until the workshop dissolved in 2019. Therefore, the traditional Danish shapes of S. Bang are now only available on the estate market.
