Amazing but true: early pipes like this one were rejected in later years by Dunhill's QA department for not being "regular enough" in texture and shape. :crazy:

A beautiful outcast. I have a few patent 59s at the moment. An awesome shape. Thanks for the eye-candy, Mr. George!

I have a 1928 59/4 that I call “two face” as one side is completely irregular and the other is not. Blasted shells have great character.
