The white dot looked suspect but for a low enough bid it was worth a shot. The pics didn't show much of anything other than some buffed to death nomenclature or really bad pics. The stem is a replacement now that I have it in hand. I will try to post pics but I can only read it under a bright light at an angle. It is as follows
on the top lest side of the shank is "EC" between bowl and "DUNHILL" over something buffed off "BRIAR"

then on the other side is "MADE" over "ENGLAND3" then "4" in a circle next to "R"
I will try to get more pics but no guarantee. Merry Freakin Christmas for me, $15 shipped to me.

Epic cool Christmas deal!
Congrats!

It looks pretty damn cherry to me!

And cheery!

:clap:
I once got a '66 40 lovat for around the same price on eBay, I couldn't believe it and it's a great great feeling - I still have the pipe too, it's a great smoker!

A 1963 Root Briar Group 4. At first I wondered how I missed it. Then I looked at the auction title. My searches went right by that one. Good eye and a nice buy!

Thanks, I am pretty stoked.
Sorry, the shape is 5C not EC, dang buffing.

Nice score! That should clean up nicely!

Congrats!!! Today I scored another "slip through" on a JT COOKE. It's so strange how every now and again for some weird reason a nice one slips everybody's notice. I do searches for the brands I like all the time. Yet somehow items slip through.

Congrats!!!

Wow! That is one hell of a score!

A $15 Dunhill! Good for you, someone has been a good boy this year. enjoy.

Nicely done. You have a good eye. Can't beat that for little more than the price of a cob.

Great snag indeed. I love finding stuff like that.

 

[snagstangl]

I better get it scrubbed out. I knew it was a risk but $15 isnt much of a risk.

I knew it was a risk but $15 isnt much of a risk.

The worst you could have gotten out of that was an older Willard before Dunhill sued them over the spot, which still wouldn't have been a bad deal :D Fortunately your intuition paid off big time. Congrats and enjoy your victory!

Even if it was a basket pipe. it's a nice pipe. 15 dollars is a good price. The only thing risky was not bidding.
Definetly post those pics if you can. Congrats!

I will get some pics of the pipe but nomenclature is no mas.
