Trying to figure out if it's authentic, what a decent offer would be, and who to send it to clean it up (missing white dot). Supposedly 1930s or earlier?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Yeah it's a Dunhill. Don't see many with a silver rim ring.
If it were something I was interested in I'd start the haggling around $50.

Thanks, I think he wants $150 obo, so I'm glad I asked.
Looks like it missing about half the height of the bowl and was fitted with a silver rim to prevent more loss.
I don't know much about Dunhill pipes, but I do know about pipe shapes. And I agree this one looks topped, or chopped er something.
Just my opinion---I'd pass. Nothing "collectible" here. Very, very beat up. If you're after a Dunhill you can still do much much better, even at the $150 the seller was asking.
FWIW, it looks like the shape numbet started with "3", and half the F/T (meaning fishtail stem) is still there.
No idea what the yellow "T" means.

I can make out "Dunhill" and "Patent" in the pics you posted.
I think for $50 (as @bluegrassbrian suggests a starting point) you'd get a good smoking pipe for the price. For $50.01 I think you'd be getting ripped off.

That’s a rare black spot Dunhill. I’d work down from 30,000
The cap is not original to the pipe in my opinion. If you are looking for something to smoke I agree to stay low. I'm not sure it will really have any resale value if that's why you are looking at it. I personally wouldn't give them more than 30$ for it but that's my opinion.
Good advice above. Sure looks well loved. I suspect it was the owners only Dunhill and smoked within an inch of it's useful life.
Smoked to within an inch of the bottom of the pipe, really.
Honestly, I wouldn't touch that pipe at any price. That pipe is done and deserves a rest after a lifetime of "loving" abuse. For $150 anyone could do MUCH MUCH better.
T is for tired and worn out, the F is for fuc.. well you get the idea of F/T.
