Dunhill - 498 Root Briar - No reserve price - Pipe - Briar

Beautiful and collectable example of a Dunhill Root Briar, shape 498, manufactured in England in 1976.

Dating can be inferred from the original Dunhill stampings “MADE IN ENGLAND 16,” where the date code 16 corresponds to the production year 1976.

The pipe features the classic Bulldog form, recognizable by the characteristic rounded head with double decorative lines and the elegant curved stem.

Finished in Dunhill’s high-quality Root Briar finish: smooth polished briar wood with the natural grain beautifully visible. The original black mouthpiece bears the characteristic Dunhill White Spot.

Stamping:
498 – DUNHILL – ROOT BRIAR – MADE IN ENGLAND 16

The pipe has been used and is in authentic vintage condition. Normal signs of use and aging are present. The tobacco chamber has been smoked. See the photos for the exact condition; these form part of the description.

The pipe is offered as found and has not been restored or refinished.

An attractive and now around 50-year-old piece for the collector of Dunhill and classic English tobacco pipes.
