Addendum 1.
About Vernon Fitment in Canada.
I believe Loring made a minor typo by writing the patent number - instead of 356090, being 325090 as we can see in the patent record.
Loring also mentions that the patent would have been registered in 1934 or '35 and was granted in '35 or '36. In fact, this patent was granted on August 16, 1932 - a few years earlier than he expected (he also can not determine the period in which the patent was applied).
According to the official patent record, the patent expired 17 years later, i.e. on August 16, 1949. Possibly it was used during this period on pipes directed to the Canadian market.
It seems, that the fitment was not a tremendous success, and perhaps the production ceased before this period but we need time to see if more pipes with that patent will appear. Anyhow, it's a plausible possibility that the patent was used during that time. We also know now that we can find pipes with this patent sooner than we thought.

Addendum 2.
About Inner Tube w/ Flange registred in Canada.
Loring pointed out in his studies that this patent was used between 1927 and 1941. However, that patent was granted on February 17, 1920, and expired on February 17, 1937. He does not make clear the reason for this possible six-year period without using this patent or because it would be used after the registration had expired. 
A plausible possibility is that this postponement occurred because of the validity of patent 158709, another Canadian patent for Inner Tube (without flange), which expired in 1926. Although, we can observe the concurrent use of British patents 5861/12 (for Inner Tube) and 116989/17 (Inner Tube w/ Flange) between 1918 and 1926. As we can see, one thing does not exclude the other.
Perhaps, that this patent was used throughout its term and that it was also not used after the concession period - i.e, it was used between 1920 and 1937 on pipes directed to Canada.

David Jones Pipes
I started making pipes in 1986. Since 1988, when I began selling, I have shipped more than 2000 pipes. These pipes are handmade from extra quality plateau briar. I purchased a lot of briar in the early years. Thus I have maintained briar stocks far beyond my immediate needs. This means that I do not have to wonder about the provenance of my wood. My briar is stored in a controlled environment for several years, then brought into the shop for final curing 5 to 7 years before use.
 
Each pipe is carefully hand shaped. Internal drilling of both the shank and the stem features tapering at the mortise and stem tenon as well as the lip, for just the right draw and smokeability. The stem logo is a mother-of-pearl dot. Each pipe is marked with my signature, handmade, USA, grade and year of manufacture. All pipes are handmade by me from design to final buff.
 
My grading system consists of a hand rusticated finish followed by five smooth grades. All shapes are also made in XL and Colossal sizes.

Davide Iafisco

Davide Iafisco began his private line of pipes after years of experience and an impressive set of references. Bertram Safferling, Marzio Radice, Teddy Knudsen, and Claudio Cavicchi, for example, were all critical in developing his shaping style, careful eye for drilling, and expert execution. That same experience, of course, led him to become one of the principle carvers for Luciano, spearheading the marque's newly revamped shape chart under the supervision of Luca di Piazza. He kept cultivating his craft, attending Jeff Gracik and Adam Davidson's annual Pipe Making Seminar, and eventually established his own brand of private, artisanal creations.

Davidoff

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by Jose Manuel Lopés'
Davidoff started in 1911 as a family run tobacconist located in Geneva. Henri Davidoff, a Russian emigrant, was the founder. The shop was located in Geneva. 
His son, Zino Davidoff (1906-1994), concentrated on the tobacco business, starting in 1924, and revolutionized the conservation of quality cheroots throughout Europe. 
Davidoff became World famous, and the company was acquired in 1970 by the Oettinger group, and expanded into numerous accessories for men.
For Zino, the pursuit of pleasure was a constant, two of his maxims being: "Take pleasure from everything in life, without excess" and "the pipe is a valuable companion, the essence of tranquility and must be smoked with respect".
Davidoff's first pipes date from 1974 and were commissioned by various companies, notably Butz-Choquin and the Cuty Fort Group. The brand offers 14 classic shapes, in three finishes and with acrylic stems.
It appears the pipes are now made in Italy, as the website states the following about their pipes:
Creation of the Davidoff Pipe entails a meticulous, detailed process performed by only the most skilled Italian pipemakers. This dedication is why the Davidoff Pipe upholds a standard of quality and design found in no other pipe in the world. Made of the finest and carefully selected briar, each Davidoff Pipe features a flawless, hand-finished bowl and perfectly fitted, hand-cut acrylic stem. The Davidoff Pipe is available in three beautiful designs and finishes -- sandblasted black, red brilliant and natural light brown.

Davis, Rad

I have been smoking (off and on) and collecting (continuously) pipes since the early 1970's. They have always fascinated me. My very first pipe was a Pioneer Calabash that I bought in a department store in the early 70's while I was in college in Sacramento, California. My second pipe during that same period was a Nording free hand that I got for $20.00 plus a coupon from the back of an Amphora Pipe Tobacco package. The coupon was introducing this new young Danish pipe maker to the U.S. market. I still have both pipes.
I met Mark Tinsky several years ago in the internet when I was in need of a pipe repair, and from his site I found that he was a fly fisherman. I am a fly fishing guide in Montana and a commercial fly tier, and we ended up trading some flies for pipe repair. Last spring, I was in need of a pipe repair again, and when I found Mark's site, I saw that he had a new address in Helena, Montana, where I live and guide during the summer! We got together after I arrived for the season and did some fishing together , and he showed me his shop, and even made me a nice bent Rhodesian pipe while I watched. It's become one of my favorite pipes, dedicated to Mac Baren Navy Flake.
When I expressed an interest in trying to make a pipe, Mark was much more than helpful. He gave me a couple of pipe kits that he couldn't sell for one reason or another, cut the basic shape out on the band saw, and let me go to work making free hand pipes. My first few pipes left a lot to be desired, but I was starting to see what I was doing wrong and concentrated more on getting the proportions and flow of the shape right until I was turning out some decent work. I also learned to cut and drill pipes and turn tenons on stems during this time. I discussed with Mark the possibility of my actually selling my pipes, and he said that he thought there was a definite need for quality hand made pipes at reasonable prices.
And here is the result. All my pipes are free hands, made from the same high quality Grecian Briar used by Mark. There are no fills in my pipes. Some may have small flaws, but they are not hidden, and they are priced accordingly.From Rad's website http://raddavispipes.com//

Davorin

I was born and live in Croatia. I have been engaged in pipe making for fifteen years and in the enjoyment of pipe smoking for the last thirty-five years. A few years ago I got to know my present companion, Darko, top master carpenter, who for some time now has been collecting and processing semi-petrified oak wood (abonos, bog-aok, Mooreiche, morta).
As a result of our collaboration, pipes made of this material also started to come to life. As expected, like any hobby pipe 
maker, I began working in briar, mostly from the Adriatic coast, I followed working in olive wood, and now, as a peak, in morta 
(in pipe smoker's world this type of material is commonly termed morta). As a principle, I do not sell pipes, but rather I enjoy in presenting them as a gift to my friends. My domicile country is rich in natural resources of all materials of which pipes are made nowadays (briar, olive-wood), while in history it was one of the largest manufacturers of clay pipes. So in Croatia top briar, olive-wood, and various sorts (colors) of morta, including "golden", "copper" and black can be found. Currently I am preparing "red" and "blue" morta, as a very rare kind.
Unfortunately, these days the tradition of pipe smoking in the whole world has been reduced to a smaller number of enthusiasts, a few of whom regularly meet in our Society and Club in Zagreb. I am also president of Association of Pipe smokers "Lula" (Pipe). And just to mention, in a "real" life I am a manager in a foreign company's branch in Croatia.
My pieces are signed by the letter "D" stylized from the old Slavic Glagolitic script - Glagoljica, impressed with a hot stamp so it actually looks like . Glagoljica is an Old Slavic alphabet created by the mid 9th century, which remained in use in Croatia until the 19th century. The tradition holds that the script was invented by St Cyril (by the real name of Constantin), a Byzantine monk from Solun (Thessaloniki). In this way I wanted to create a symbolical connection between old material, morta, and the oldest script of the Slavic peoples.

DeJarnett Pipes

Note: Horace DeJarnett passed away July 24, 2013. Although he was battling terminal cancer, his wife reports that he died of a stroke.
Horace DeJarnett about himself:
"All of my pipes are carved from the finest quality Algerian briar I can find. I coat each bowl with a special pre-carb treatment which speeds up the break-in process. After the third bowl, it will smoke as if it had been in your collection for years. I get a lot of positive feed-back on this feature.
Standard draft holes are 5/32". I think that's too small and many pipe smokers agree with me. So I drill mine to 3/16" for a better draw. You won't have to send my pipes out to a pipe repairman to have them opened up, as many do.
For over 40 years I worked in the grocery industry. In 1984 I founded my own food brokerage business. It prospered and grew into a multi-state corporation. In 1999 I sold my portion of the business and retired.
Due to health concerns and public scrutiny, I quit smoking cigarettes in 1993 and took up the pipe.
(I believed then – and still do – that health risks are greatly reduced by not inhaling and just puffing.) Serious pipe-smoking is conducive to day-dreaming, and thus the idea of making my own pipes became a quest.
I was fortunate to study under Andrew Kovacs, a well-known carver in Northern Arizona (trade name “Jandrew”) for about a year, off and on. I learned a lot of the basics from Andy, but some of my best counsel came via long telephone conversations with Mark Tinsky.
Over the years I have made and sold approximately 1,000 pipes, most of them here in the United States, but I do have customers in Indonesia, Germany, Japan, England, Israel, Canada, and Thailand.
What began as a hobby has become my passion. I lost my leg in 2001 due to a blood clot, so fortunately for me, I have an occupation that is “handicap friendly”.

DePrey

James DePrey (†); Ft. Kent, Maine, USA, stopped making pipes in 1989 due to health reasons.
The following is transcribed from an article in Pipe Collectors International (right):
R. James Deprey has been making pipea in Fort Kent, Maine for two years. He has learned from the many craftsmen who are willing to share what they know, notably J.M. Boswell. James credits Boswell with the first inspiration as well as instruction in the craft and its tools. Show, competitions, and smokeshops have provided continual inspiration to support his development. 
James works in pipes part-time. The drill press and sander are his only power tools; the rest of the work is done by hand, making all his pipes "free-hand", although many of his shapes could be turned on a lathe. This hand-made quality earned for James the second place award in the best free-hand competition at the 1987 New England Pipe Symposium.
James sells his annual production of some 250 pipes through the mail, in smokeshops, and at shows. Using both vulcanite and Lucite for stems, Deprey offers pipes with smooth, rustic, stained, and unstained finishes. He sells his pieces without a catalog for $45 to $185.
James enjoys free-hand work because of the uniqueness of each piece, and he loves to sell such a creation to someone who is drawn to it and finds it irresistible.

Delacour

The Delacour factory was built around 1892 and expanded in 1893) in Saint-Claude, Jura, France, Rue Carnot 14 bis. 
The owner was Alix Delacour. Already in 1909 the factory was further expanded. Delacour had their own briar drying facilities. In 1960, the pipe factory closed. (Brand name was probably taken over by Jeantet). The Delacour building harbored afterwards: an eye-wear company, dance school, restaurant, etc.

Delta Pipes
Made by Michael Fauscette. About:
: "My experiences in the pipe world have evolved over many years of smoking pleasure. An avid pipe collector and smoker for over 25 years I have developed an affinity for very high end, artisan crafted pipes, mostly from Danish and American craftsmen. That evolution has taken me through the usual cast of characters, first smoking many fine Italian pipes, moving on to English pipes and finally to the world's master carvers like Lars Ivarrson, Jess Chonowitsch and many others. Early in my smoking experience I developed a friendship with a freehand pipe maker and spent many hours in his shop observing the creative process. Through these experiences I have learned to enjoy and identify true quality in design and technical ability. 
: Professionally I am a software executive in Silicon Valley, a career I have pursued for several years following my ten year stint as a Naval Officer. In the Navy I was trained and worked as a Marine Engineer, focusing on ships with marine gas turbines propulsion. My final assignment in the Navy was as a Chief Engineer on a new Arleigh Burke class Destroyer. As a Marine Engineer I was exposed to and learned all types of machining processes, air flow and fluid flow analysis, etc. These experiences have given me a sound technical basis to translate to pipe design.
: In 2001, I started looking for a new creative outlet as a means of having some fun and managing the stress of my professional life. I have always been interested in pipe craft and began to explore the process in detail. I read all of the material I could find, talked with several pipe carvers and in general learned what was required to get started. I set up my shop and began to experiment with designs and methods. 
: Throughout my life I have been involved in creative activities. My experiences as a musician, painter and woodworker influence my pipe design and craftsmanship. I have taken the ground up approach to the craft, learning by doing and by working with other pipe makers. My pipes use only the finest materials and are all hand made. From the start I refused to use molded stems, forcing myself to learn how to hand make them from rod stock. I do all of my own carving, sand blasting and rustication. The stem materials are all from vulcanite, cumberland, lucite and acrylic rod stock, most imported from a supplier in Germany. In each piece I try to integrate unique design with the highest technical detail. Each piece is an individual and is true functional art. I hope you will join me here often as I continue to evolve in the craft.
: Currently I'm taking a break from pipemaking to pursue some other interest. Check back, I'm sure I'll start carving again soon."

Demirev Pipes

Kolyo Demirev was born in Bulgaria, but now lives in Prague, Czech Republic.
He has been working as an electrician, but that job never satisfied him completely. He has always looked for a place closer to nature and creativity. In pipes he discovered what he was looking for.
The first step in pipe making was in 2012. A good friend gave Demeriv the confidence to pursue pipe making, and they bought a small shop in Prague. The plan was to gain an idea of the stages through which the piece of briar becomes a pipe. On that day he realized that pipe making was what he wanted to do. At that point he researched how to make pipes through photos and videos, any information he could get his hands on, and dreaming about what his future pipes would look like.
Dmeriv pipes are handmade, and finished with carnauba wax. He uses German ebonite, and Italian or Spanish briar.
