WDC was the William DeMuth Co. They made untold hundreds - maybe thousands - of pipe styles from briar, bakelite and meerschaum. They were around in the days of the amber pipestem - 1862 until the 1980's. I would say their worst pipes were fair and their best pipes were better than fair. However, there's no saying what a used pipes smoking quality is until it's cleaned and smoked. I own a couple of WDCs and they're both fine smoking pipes. They must have made a billion Wellingtons because there are always dozens for sale on ebay. I think the Milano pipes were the upscale pieces for WDC.

From pipedia: "In 1897 Ferdinand Feuerbach joined the DeMuth company and by 1903 had become the production manager. Feuerbach is credited with developing DeMuth's popular Royal DeMuth and Hesson Guard Milano pipelines."

Picture?
