DUNHILL Shell Briar 4110

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 perfect for English and oriental mixtures) and very practical shape: billiards are always the best pipes in terms of easy smoking and maintaining (cleaning), but a sitter billiard is undoubtedly the highly comfortable smoker!

The pipe marking is “4110”, “(dunhill)” “SHELL BRIAR \ MADE IN ENGLAND 36”. The length is 13.9 cm (5.47″), bowl’s height is 4.4 cm (1.73″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.6 cm (1.42″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.8 cm (1.5″) and this pipe weights 40 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1950s Normally the dating of Dunhill pipes doesn’t cause complications. In this particular case we may say for sure it’s one of the late patent period Dunhill Shell samples made in 1950, so it’s already more than 70 years old beauty now. Nevertheless the stamping “EX 511” adds some mystery and charm. Of course…

From the very beginning Algerian briar was used for blasted pipes as it was much softer and provided deeper and more attractive finish….

England, 1955 Sometimes even a little person can play an essential (if not solving) role in large-scale events. At least there are enough movies with such moral. The same we could say about small enterprises and their influence on development of pipe making art: even a small manufactory can leave its very and very notable…
