About This Pipe

There are few, if any, pipes more collectible that the patent stamped pipes from the venerable Dunhill Company, and in many aspects this 1950 Dunhill patent is stunning. The grain is remarkable, perhaps the top ten percent of Patent Shells that I have encountered, and the bowl shows a fair amount of ruby under stain from years and handling.
