About This Pipe

Wow. someone sure had access to a buffer! This generously sized Dunhill Group "6" Shell Briar sports a marvelous grain, as well as a factory, AD "Barley" gold band. As much as the color didn't fare well to buffing, the stain came out relatively unscathed, compared to the "buffed to flat" Barley band. What the heck, the shape is the much sought "51CY", and it's still a pretty pipe.
