Hello everyone.
I've been combing the internet in a feeble attempt to teach myself about Dunhill pipes. I've aquired a couple of them so I'm interested in the years they were made, value, history and the like. I might as well be teaching myself a dead language. So far all the info I have been able to find has taught me that the stamping on Dunhill Pipes is shrouded in secrecy. Patent numbers, year numbers, underlined,raised, if it was sent to this country the stamping means something different but looks the same.... It goes on and on. I am very confused. Anyway, I am making my first attempt at posting a pic on this forum. Hopefully this works and one of you kind folks could demystify these pipes for me.
First,I have an Oom Paul. This thing is nice. Stamping reads:
59L F/T DUNHILL
ROOT BRIAR
On the other side of the shank is:
MADE IN (4)R
ENGLAND
All I have figured out is that it is good briar (root) and a big bowled pipe (4). All other nomenclature is making my brain hurt. Please help.
