If time is money, I’m pissing away any possible profit by having to explain all these damaged Dunhills. Why don’t people take better care of their pipes, in only to make the world a better place for me? The crack in the shank must have been serious enough for the repair guy to cover up almost all of the nomenclature, plus I think this pipe was old enough for it to have faced the buffing wheel and so whatever was visible was buffed nearly off. On one side of the shank, I can see the shape number…60. On the other side, I can barely make out the Grp. size, 4, and an A, which identifies the pipe as a Bruyere. The bowl and chamber are in truly excellent condition…the pipe has barely been smoked. The stem is like new. It looks like an old button, so this might be a rather vintage piece. Lots of flame grain, too.
6” long, bowl 1.75” tall. Weight: 1.25 oz., 37 grams.
