Unusual Dunhill pipes. Help needed understanding.
As Al says. This is what I do; put the stummel in a pipe rest, or an egg carton, shank up. Fill the shank with alcohol till the dirt dissolves. Carefully remove the tube with a pair of tweezers. Bob's your uncle.- orlandofurioso

Unusual Dunhill pipes. Help needed understanding.
It is not a stinger, but the (in)famous Dunhill inner tube . When hot from smoking your device they become very "flexible" and are inclined to break off. I tinkered quite a few from the stummel, or the mouthpiece.- orlandofurioso

Charatan's Make Distinction
Yep, Trafalgar. Shape 71. X for saddle mouthpiece. In the seventies they were stamped 171X, or 371X depending on bowl size. Lovely pipe, great grain. The Distinction is not a lower graded grade. 1961-1965.- orlandofurioso
