The Marxman Pipe Company was created by Robert (Bob) L. Marx in 1934, when he was 29, and after he had worked for the William Demuth Company.  His pipes were not outstanding because of the qual...ity of their wood (probably Algerian), but Bob started making unique sculpted pieces, animals and famous people - which brought the brand fame in the World of Hollywood cinema. Actors like Zachery Scott, Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson, Alan Hale, Joel McRae, and Ronald Reagan were some of the faces that appeared on the bowls. Bob Marx knew how to innovate and took full advantage of marketing and press advertising to sell his brand. One of his most successful slogans was "Relax with a Marxman"."Relax with a Marxman Ad, courtesy Doug ValitchkaCourtesy Doug Valitchka1946 Ad, Courtesy Doug ValitchkaA nice example, courtesy Fae Simmons (Tobacco Treasures)Another 1946 Ad, courtesy Doug Valitchka
