My Dunhill authority on Forums is foggymountain who sold Dunhills (and Kaywoodies, etc.) at a pipe shop in Manhattan when he was a teenager in the fifties, and when I think Kaywoodies cost more than Dunhills, or soon after that point in history. I think he still has about one hundred, but he doesn't smoke much or at all because of health considerations. He only visits Forums now and then now.
pappymac do you think that it might be a shape 41 (tapered billiard)? I notice the 5 is a different print than the 4 and the 1. Not sure what the five would be however :?
On the other hand... if they were transitioning to the new 4 digits (which, I think was a year later). It could mean 4 (group size), 1 (bit- tapered), 5 (general pipe shape - Dublin). It does resemble a Dublin a bit more than a traditional billiard, not quite as canted as many Dunhill Dublins.
BTW, I am, obviously, no expert.
