DUNHILL Shell Briar 591

England, 1956

An absolutely amazing highly collectable full bent (“Oom Paul”) pipe created by Dunhill carvers in 1956. The pipe is completed with two newly made stems: the canonical black vulcanite stem with the white spot according to Dunhill standards and the modernistic inversion white acrylic stem with the black spot. So you may choose every time the stem which suits better your mood, time of the day, the season, the weather or the last results of your favorite team 🙂

The pipe markings are “591”, “DUNHILL \ SHELL BRIAR”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND 6”, “(4) S”. The length is 9.7 сm (3.82″) with the black stem and 9.4 cm (3.7″) with the white stem, bowl’s height is 5.9 cm (2.32″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.2 cm (1.26″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 5.0 cm (1.97″) and this pipe weights 63 gr with the black stem and 66 gr. with the white stem. Briar, vulcanite stem, acrylic stem, no filter.
