Dating a Dunhill

[mycroftholmes]

Does anyone know what is the year of a Dunhill root briar stamped: 0 8(underlined)?

 

[sasquatch]

Depends on other stamping. Can you snap a pic?

Here are some pictures of the pipe

1968

Thanks. But wouldn't a 68 be stamped just 8

 

[sasquatch]

I don't think it's stamped 08 I think it's stamped 0 and the 8 was added later, as a time of sale or a time or repair. It's not lined up right, and there is no underlined 08 nomenclature in the dating key. So I think it's a 1960.

What sasquatch said, made in 1960, repaired (perhaps a new stem) in 1968. Or not sold until 1968, but that seems less likely.
