England, 1960s
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 in the Dunhill family, but also among all pipes in general. The year suffix is unfortunately already not visible but the pipe comes from a 1960s collection. A classical capacious billiard.
The pipe markings are “DUNHILL \ BRUYERE”, “60 F/T”, “(4)A”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND”. The length is 13.3 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.8 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.0 cm and 2.1 cm. The depth is 3.9 cm and this pipe weights 25 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter . The chamber has been protected with the break in coat.
