England, 1988

One of the largest (Group size 5) Dunhill pipes of the oldest and most popular series and very successful “Diplomat” shape. The pipe was born in 1983, but looks very young and fresh and as for its age. Highly recommended!

The pipe marking is “DUNHILL \ BRUYERE”, “5128”, “”MADE IN \ ENGLAND 28”. The length is 15.0 cm (5.9″), bowl’s height is 3.6 cm (1.42″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.7 cm (1.85″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 2.9 cm (1.14″) and this pipe weights 53 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1962-63 It seems the pipe has two year suffixes – one (“2”) was printed after the word “England” and the second (“3”) is located a bit below it. A new year transition pipe? 🙂 Despite the Group Size 4 the pipe really impresses with its dimensions and the shape – a very stylish large…

DUNHILL Shell Briar P, 1969

England, 1969 That’s a very rare sample of the Dunhill Shell Briar pipes stamped with a letter shape code instead of a number. Such codes were used at times prior to 1976 (according to Pipephil) and the shape “P” corresponds to “1/2 bent bulldog”. A unique collector’s finding!

England, 1976 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. And though pre WWII “bruyeres” were marked just by a letter “A” instead of model, the Bruyere series is the one of the oldest long-livers not only…

England A wonderful cherrywood pipe from the Dunhill’s family! The brand Savory (Savory’s) was created in the 1885 and very soon was acquired by Dunhill. We were advised that it was a tobacconist located on the Agryll str. in London. Savory pipes were ones of the Dunhill seconds (similarly to Hardcastle, Parker, Masta) and have…

DUNHILL Root Briar 53

England, 1968 This is the top grade and middle size Dunhill Root Briar sample from 1968. The pipe was moderately and quite accurately smoked, but not always carefully handled: it seems the previous owner was at times not cautious with a lighter or put the pipe into an ashtray – there’s a small dark spot…
