I got this Dunhill ODA from a member. Sent it to my resto man to be cleaned up. Not a fan of the color red. So I had him change it. Please direct all technical questions to Dave G. Now your not hijacking I told em to go after you. HA HA! Hope you enjoy it !

Looks a lot like my first Dunhill, which I bought new in 1958 or 59 for $22. Mine had a reddish stain which tasted awful, and was later replaced with the amber root. I couldn't get a good smoke out of it. So after trying for a few years I threw it out. About 50 years later I saw one of the same shape and date on Ebay. It had been bid up to $2500.

Not a Dunhill fan, but I really like that one. Have always liked the four square shape, but have yet to get one. Great score!

beefeater33 I wouldn't know where or how to figure out a date. Sorry! Dave still has it, needs to finish up the rest of the pipes he's doing for me. He might help out.

Yeah, that old four square shape is stogy in a wonderful way. Sitters are always a luxury. It's a very handsome pipe.

Knocks the socks off of what my first Dunhill estate looked like, enjoy it when it gets back to you. I love panels but an ODA is a big pipe and i don't own many large capacity bowls, hope you have a comfy spot picked out! ;)

Not exactly studio quality pictures but here it was upon arrival. It was originally dark red. Pretty close to the same shade as the Pete Killarney sitting directly behind it.
