English Estates: Dunhill Shilling Grain Billiard (*) (1991) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-34929
Though this pipe doesn't seem to possess a group size, this Dunhill Shilling Grain Billiard fits comfortably into Group 5 dimensions, making for a comfortably hand filling pipe of traditional form. The bowl is tall and the shank is thin, the tapered black stem evenly narrowing as it reaches the button. The most striking element of this piece is its grading, as, being from the Shilling Grain line, the bowl features a concentric array of undulating growth rings rising from the base to the rim, which, combined with the jet black stain, imbues the pipe with a dapper profile that exudes a palpable stature and elegance. This is one of the only examples we've ever seen from the line which has earned a star stamping, making it an extremely rare piece from the English marque
