DUNHILL Root Briar 572, (1960)

September 2, 2023September 2, 2023

England, 1960

A very fine example from the top-grade Dunhill series. Typically, the absence of the year suffix suggests that the pipe was manufactured in 1960, as indicated by some experts, unless it falls within a patent period. However, the most intriguing detail of this pipe is the expertly replaced shank. The quality of the workmanship and the application of the stamping undeniably indicate that the procedure was conducted directly at the Dunhill factory, either as part of the production cycle or as a service maintenance. Perhaps that’s why the year suffix is missing.

Pipe markings “572 F/T”, “DUNHILL \ ROOT BRIAR”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND”, “”(2) R”

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…

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.

England, 1933 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 (or Ao like in this case), the Bruyere series is the one…
