Dunhill Shilling Pipe

[jerryskid47]

I recently bought one of these at an estate sale. Date code is 36. Other than that, I don’t know much about it, or it’s value. I’ve found some rather vague info, and not many up on the ‘Bay. Any insight on these?

Thanks in advance.

Some of the nomenclature.

Very nice!

"Shilling" is a designation for pipes in the Cumbelrand finish that have exceptional grain. It's the Cumberland's version of the Shell Briar "Ring Grain" and they're priced with a premium compared to their counterparts.

The one you have was made in 1996 and it's a lovely shape! They are rare, more so than "Ring Grain." That's a great find.

Very interesting, I didn't know the difference between the two grades!

And I believe, like the Charatan FH, all free hand shapes, no shape numbers

Jerry why do you skid? Do you need to upgrade your tires?
