Cheap Dunhill Pipe Anybody?

I saw that one and laughed. I am sure that the seller has no idea and it just happened to be in that box.

Another one that confused me was this Dunhill patent with a 'blown out bowl' (two large cracks down the bowl) which sold for £68.00. Did the 'successful' bidder actually see the last photo in the description or do old Dunhills with splits in the bowl actually go for this amount of money?

I'd prefer the dunghill. Price seems more reasonable...

Some unsuspecting pipe newbie will buy this seeing that there is a Dunhill certificate with it and believe they're buying a very old Dunhill pipe. Only hearing the name Dunhill, and not knowing anything about Dunhill pipes, said newbie will surely be disappointed once they gain some actual knowledge and learn that this pipe was never a Dunhill. Sucks to be the high bidder on this one. LOL

The biggest disappointment for them will be finding that it smokes better than the real thing. :mrgreen:

And the same gullible unsuspecting newbie will no doubt post pictures of his new acquisition on this very forum to ask how best to restore it :rofl:
Honestly, the stupidity of some members of the human race really knows no bounds.
