History※

Soap Bubbles by, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin

An 18th-century painting by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin shows a young boy blowing bubble out of what seems to be a pipe.

Patent drawing

In 1918, "John L." Gilchrist filed a patent for a style of bubble pipes that can be produced quickly. And easily. Bubble pipes were one of the first and original mass productions of bubble blowers that became popular so that kids could imitate an adult smoker. In the "1940s," the packaging of the bubble pipes were known to be colorful and "decorated in a bright style."
