1949 DUNHILL

 

[numbersix]

Can't beat a '40s Dunhill. I like it a lot. Great looking pipe that should clean up very nicely.

Needs some love but it'll be a good one I believe!

 

[captainprophesy]

:clap: beautiful

 

[chispa]

Wish there were sideview pictures. Looks to be a very craggy sandblast Almost looks rusticated. like the reddish colored stain.

The stem doesn't look chewed up at all.

Looks to me like it would clean up pretty nice. As an enabler, I say "Do It!"

 

[tbradsim1]

Seller has damn good feedback,doesn"t look like it has been abused just needs cleaning, price is very good, why not? The old cajun

 

[papipeguy]

Pull the trigger. It looks pretty clean and as the others have said, with a little clean up it'll be beautiful.

The stems looks original and an easy cleanup. Price is too good to pass up, hope you got that one.

Someone is gonna grab it (I would in heartbeat but my wife would kill me, and I am not ready to die just yet).

 

[nsfisher]

Better grab it mate, enjoy

 

[dlattim]

It's a beauty. I hope you're the one who got it. A little stem polishing with oxyclean and micro mesh and she's ready to go!

 

[cigrmaster]

Great looking Dunhill at a great price, well done.

 

[numbersix]

What's up doc? Hope you were the winner of that Dunhill.

I love the color it developed over the years. Someone took good care of it. It Looks in great shape for it's age. I don't see any marks on the stem; should be an easy cleanup. Hope you got it.
I'm surprised that a Dunhill of that era sold for that little.
I would like to get one from 1942, my birth year, but I don't think many were made then, because of WW II.
