DUNHILL Root Briar 2000

England, 2000

Let’s call it a “millenium pipe”. This attractive decent size (group 5) top grade Dunhills Root Briar pipe doesn’t have a shape number at all, but it says clearly it was made exactly in 2000. We assume the shape number should be 5113 (bent apple), but absence of this number makes the pipe unqiue and even slightly mysterious. Amazing grain and almost no wood staining if any at all. Great sample, highly recommended!

The pipe marking is “(5)”, “(dunhil)”, “ROOT BRIAR \ MADE IN ENGLAND 00”. The length is 14.7 cm (5.79″), bowl’s height is 4.8 cm (1.89″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.54″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 3.8 cm (1.5″) and this pipe weights 48 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1986 The “Cumberland” series is relatively young in comparison to other lines – it was introduced in 1979 and named in honor of Cumberland Street – the street where production and warehouse capacities of the company existed comfortably for many years. But such brindle ebonite stems (“cumberland” stems – also a Dunhill’s invention!) make…

England, 2002 Even if Dunhill didn’t obtain a patent for usage of brindle ebonite for stems, their input in promoting of a new material and invention of a suitable and well memorable name for it is undoubted. The name was born in 1979, when a new series of sandblasted pipes with modern stems was christened…

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!
