Dunhill Dating Year

I bought this pipe and thought it was a 1929. After looking at the dating index, the patent number seems limited in the years and I’m coming up with 1919. Anyone have any insight? I may be reading it incorrectly.

Is that 3 the only other stamping on the pipe? If so, it’s likely prior to 1921. Which would make it a very early Shell. What’s the button look like?

Pipedia's decoder says 1929, with those consecutive patent numbers. Also, "Made In England" is correctly missing for this date.

Sellers photos, but should have it soon. Yes, the 3 is the only marking.

I would wait until they were 18 at least.

Oh, I see I misunderstood the question.

About halfway down the Pipedia dating page (don't know how to be more precise than that) there is a listing for #11970817/16989/179 dated to 1927-'34, with lack of MADE IN ENGLAND stamp indicating for domestic, not export, sale.

1+8=? While we're here, this is a 1960... isn't it?
