Dating Dunhill

jabomano · Jul 24, 2016

I don't have a photo of the pipe but the nomenclature is:
Dunhill Shell Made In England0 (underlined)

U.S. Patent 1341418/20
I can't good a good feel from the Dunhill dating sites.
I'm picking it up from an estate this week. In great condition.
Thanks
Ray

Ray, I think I have bought some pipes from you on ebay! So, DUNHILL SHELL, not DUNHILL'S "SHELL"? If the former, I would say 1941-43/45. If the latter, 1930. For a detailed explanation of my first answer see John Loring's,

For comparison and the 1930 date from R.D. Field see,

If it isn't stamped Dunhill's as stated above, 1940.

If it isn't stamped Dunhill's as stated above, 1940.

Also a possibility...

Thanks to both of you. I thought that it was 1940 but wasn't 100% sure. It's stamped DUNHILL...no possessive.

Any shape number? Let me take a wild guess, 35?

jabomano · Jul 24, 2016

Here's the only photo I have. The estate emailed it to me tonight. No idea what the shape # is.
