England, 1940

No staining just a natural finish! This is an exciting indeed example of the good old fashioned English pipe carving art. The pipe was made in 1940, already on the beginning of the Wold War II, but it shows the same approach, the same sense of taste and the same highest skills which made Dunhill a superstar in the smoking pipes Wold just from the very beginning!

The pipe markings are “R”, “DUNHILL \ LONDON”, “MADE IN ENGLAND 0”, “U.S. PATENT 1343253/20”, “501”. The length is 15.4 cm (6.06″), bowl’s height is 3.7 cm (1.46″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.6 cm (1.42″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 3.2 cm (1.26″) and this pipe weights 27 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The stem is newly made of the fresh piece of vulcanite so we can consider the pipe as a “partially unsmoked” :-).

England, 1981 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.

England, 1970s Red Bark is perhaps the best-known and valued Dunhill series among other “retired”. The Red Bark pipes were produced not for a long time – from 1972 to 1987, and in fact, they are traditional sandblasted Dunhills, but smokers and collectors are still attracted by these pipes and their unusual staining. By the…

England, 1996 The pipe is relatively young in comparison to other pipes, which we offer. It was made in 1996 and has been quite moderately smoked, so it needed rather a refresh than a restoration. We would like also to draw your attention to the really comfortable size (the middle range Group size 4 is…

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…
