How many stars does it have? (Damn I know more about Briar by Lee pipes than I ought to…?)
Yes, this is Dunhill's Duncob #1, a patent era pipe. Complete with before and after photos.
Now if you just did a 7-pointed star Lee, it would be perfect!
U dunno, I thought my logo looked pretty authentic all by itself.
WTF is a "7-pointed star Lee"?

Why, dat roght thar should be a three star pipe.
I love Dunhill, and I love cobs. However, with Dunhill having intentionally cultivated a bit of a pretentious image as part of their branding as the British aristocratic gentleman’s pipe maker and tobacconist, I very much doubt they ever produced a cob pipe.
It's people like you what cause unrest.
For all you smarty-pants "I know EVERYTHING about Dunhill" types, here's a wake up call for just how ignorant you really are:
Dunhill manufactured Dunhill Cobs in a sheltered workshop in Iowa, called "Dunhill Village". Unfortunately, when the developmentally disabled proved too smart to go to work for a pretentious, royals-worshipping men's foo-foo fashion house, Dunhill was forced to hire convicted felons on work release. Since the list of eligible employees was arranged alphabetically by criminal conviction, the Arsonists had first dibs at the jobs and...well...

The bottom looks like it's burning out. Typical Dunnie quality, hrmpft.
And clearly, that's not an ivory dot, as Mr. Dibos has conclusively proven is a hallmark of authenticity, but a spot of wite-out!
The bottom isn't "burning out".
It burned out after the first smoke.
Dunhill factory Service repaired it with a mix of asbestos and Elmer's glue. So far, so good.
Those guys are freakin' artists!
I don’t have access to the pipes at this moment. Next time I do, I’ll remove the stem and get some good closeup pictures.
Iowa? Must have recruited the developmentally disabled across the border from Nebraska! Sorry Aksarbens (saw Fess Parker there back in the day!), I'm channeling some Little Bill from Unforgiven.
This thread had me thinking Prius is making armored personnel carriers.
They probably tried to sell that to noted occultist and perique smoker, Aleister Crowley.?
Nah, they used to do custom pieces and commission work.They probably tried to sell that to noted occultist and perique smoker, Aleister Crowley.
