By the time they left the GBD name was well established and thus retained. In 1903 an additional factory was built in England and ran by Oppenheimer. The Paris factory moved to Saint-Claude in 1952. Since 1981 the majority of GBD pipes come from the English factory. At about that same time GBD merged with Comoys, since then all production for both GBD and Comoy comes from a single factory. The Unique Series production began in the 1960's and were all handmade by the Jameson Brothers. I do not have the box and glove but i have seen them for sale at many regional pipe shows for around $20.00
