Zeldzame Mid-Century Wade England ‘Hilson’ Pijphouder & Asbak (ca

An extraordinarily interesting and extremely rare tobacciana collector's lot for the connoisseur of unique smoking curiosities, antique advertising ceramics and early technology. This lot combines an authentic Mid-Century store display with a fascinating, technologically sophisticated artifact from the history of pipe smoking. The lot consists of the following two unique objects: 1. Mid-Century Wade England ‘Hilson’ Ceramic Pipe Holder / Ashtray (c. 1950-1960): An original, rare store-display item produced by the renowned English factory Wade England on commission for the legendary Belgian pipe brand Hilson. The cream-white holder is elegantly decorated with gold borders and dots, and features a magnificent, high-gloss black figure of a greyhound (Scottish Terrier). On the front the brand name "Hilson" is hand-painted in gold letters. At the bottom the object is marked with the period-typical sunk blind stamp "Wade England". 2. Rare Vintage Electronic Pipe (Bruyère & Patent Pending, c. 1975-1980): An early and technologically very advanced e-pipe made from high-quality briar wood (rootwood) with a beautiful, deep grain structure. At the bottom of the wooden head is an integrated electronic compartment, marked with the sharp stamp "PAT. PEND." (Patent Pending / Octroi Demande). On the inside of the head and mouthpiece the original gold- and copper-colored electronic contacts and wiring are fully visible. A rare and sought-after gadget-collectible from the early history of electronic smoking systems.
