Dunhill Date zero

[LiamClanNastey]

How do you know whether a Dunhill (Airstream) is suffix zero please? I've looked at PipePhil and it's easy to spot the year if it's say 1961. The "1" after "ENGLAND" says to add 1 to 1960. But what if it was 1960? Would it be a zero or no number at all after ENGLAND?



I'm assuming of course that there was actually a 1960 Airstream...

Cheers

My understanding is that no number is the date zero for a particular line using that methodology.

No idea about the Airstream beginning date definitively but I assume 1960 for the beginning date if you have used the chart correctly for that line - e.g., the nomenclature is properly identified and you are in the right column, etc.

Suffix zero is either 1960 or 1970 depending on the font. Pretty easy to follow the chart.

Looks like 1961 was the first Airstream if I’m reading that correctly…

So what exactly is your question? What number does your pipe have on it? Cuz that's the answer.

… a 1960 would be ideal as it was year of the Rat, I’m rebuilding an Airstream trailer and this is my bike Nice problem to have, I know.

I haven’t got one yet. That year would be ideal. But I’ll look for another year. Nothing in the U.K. at the moment.
