Dunhill Pipe (1920's) Restoration

jabomano · May 10, 2012

I have a Dunhill Inner Tube Patented 1914 (1920-1921) in desperate need of restoration. The stem is in excellent condition. Nomenclature is buffed but legible. A small knockout and the rim and it could be topped. I was thinking of Ronnie Bikacsan of Nightowl Pipeworks.
Any input? Or suggestions?
Thanks.

Walker is said to do good work.
I do think with a pipe that fine you are wise to get professional assistance.
Question: Do you have the Inner Tube?

To tslex:
No. Unfortunately the Inner Tube is gone.

I'd leave the nick be instead of topping the pipe... no matter how professionally it's done, one would be able to tell that it's been topped. Better let that ole fella have the signs of use... after all, it's not a new pipe.
