The pipe has the distinctive deeply textured sandblast finish of the Dunhill Shell Briar series. The rounded bowl, straight shank and black mouthpiece with the familiar white Dunhill spot give this piece a timeless look.

The original brand stamp DUNHILL SHELL – MADE IN ENGLAND 3S is visible on the wooden shank.

Features:

* Brand: Dunhill

* Material: Briar wood
* Finish: Dark brown, sandblast
* Mouthpiece: Black with white Dunhill spot

Condition:

The pipe is in used vintage condition, with visible signs of age and use. The rim of the bowl shows tar buildup and discoloration.

At the junction between the bowl and the wooden shank, there is a palpable line running all the way around. This may be an older repair. There is also a slight difference in color, as shown in the photos. There is no movement between the two lines.

The photos form part of the description and give a good impression of the condition of this piece.

An interesting older Dunhill for enthusiasts and collectors of classic English smoking pipes.

Will be carefully packaged and shipped.
