Who made Amphora pipes?

Over fifty years ago, I used a coupon from a pack of Amphora pipe tobacco to purchase a pipe. It's marked Amphora X-tra 811, a bent bulldog with sadle stem. Liked it so much I bought another marked Amphora X-tra 818 prince shape.
I still have both in my rotation and enjoy them.
Any idea of who the maker was?

Do a Google search for "Amphora pipes" and you will find your answers from pipedia.org.
Interesting... pipes were made in Holland by the Jos. Gubbel organization.
Again, pipedia will give you detailed info plus, I think even a shape chart...
I sent in the coupon and got a Canadian and still have it, although I've had it re-stemmed. I also got a Dublin. That would have been in the 1960's, when I was a beginner. When @KA9FFJ mentioned Holland that brought back the old memory cells. It was a long time ago. Both of mine say Holland.
