As some of you know, I recently returned a new Peterson Rosslare (due to a cheaply made tenon). So I decided to take a look at what was on ebay.
Now my birthday is Aug 16, 1962, and wouldn't you know it, a day before my birthday I see a 6.5" Dunhill billiard (my preferred shape and size) and it appeared to have a manufacture stamp of 1962 (2).
I decided it must be ordained in the stars and placed my bid—won it for $124! Really looking forward to this one and starting the restoration process (though I may even send this one out).

Thanks a lot guys.
Congrats Thom, send it out and get that sucker back in full dress, then have a pipe party and tell us about it.

Thanks Bradley - I am sorely tempted to do so, but I also don't want to wait too long to smoke it (plus I enjoy refurbishing pipes). I will just have to make the decision when she arrives.

I wish you lots of luck. When I hit ebay, I wasn't even looking, nor did I expect to find a birth year Dunnie (esp in the shape I prefer). Very glad I returned that Peterson Rosslare I have to say!

Grats Six!
You of course need another that was made the same year you got married. Then there's the kids birthdays too!

Thanks a lot guys - pretty happy with this one. The seller has a high rating and listed the pipe as lightly smoked. We'll see!

Wow, you know sometimes things just happen for a reason. I realize had the Peterson not had that tenon you would have kept it and been satisfied but to bounce back like that is a great birthday gift to yourself, so Happy Birthday, belatedly, and enjoy that gorgeous Dunhill Shell, it's a corker.

lol! Funny thing is, I never cared about a birth year Dunhill. I thought it'd be nice, but it wasn't high on my list. More important for me was shape and size. That's what's so great about this pickup - it was a win-win-win on all counts.

So true Fish - I was very sorry to send back the Pete, but to turn around and find this one makes me think it was meant to be! :puffy:
