Looks like a Dunhill bowl about late 1950s or early 1960. The pictures are poor which does not give me a good feeling. If the shank is ok and not much wear in the bowl, it could be a good one to have a replacement stem made. I would want to have better pictures and a declaration that the rest of the wood is not damaged. The tapered GBD stem is jammed into a straight bored shank which may not be a good thing. :crazy:
Well that's a bit of a miss-match, someones just stuck a GBD stem in it, still a good buy if you are prepared to source a new Dunhill stem.
A Dunhill billiard converted in a semi bent with a gbd stem.As we are not sure if the tenon diameter of the gbd is the same of the dunhill there is always the possibility that the hole of Dunhill shank have been enlarged.I whould say....beware!

I'd think if it stays under $50 it'd be worth a try. Don't see why someone would chance ruining a Dunhill straight by sticking a GBD bent stem into it. Definately lowered that resale value a good $100 or more.
