England, 1980s

A very elegant middle size squashed bulldog of the most popular Dunhill Bruyere series. As usually – eye catching distinct grain. Made in 1980s (the last digit is difficult to identify, it might be 0, 6, 8 or 9), the great period to be born! Should smoke perfectly with strong and medium mixtures.

The pipe marking is “3117”, “DUNHILL \ BRUYERE”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND 20?”. The length is 12.1 cm (4.76″), bowl’s height is 3.5 cm (1.38″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.2 cm (1.65″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 2.6 cm (1.02″) and this pipe weights 31 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1972 In the beginning Dunhill created Bruyere. And several years (1910-1917) it was the single brand made by the company of a firm and dense Calabrian briar.
