Help needed: These 2 Dunhills. Hoping to nail down when they were made. Thanks in advance!


"Red Bark" #253... light stamping

Red Barks started early 1970s...that one has been pretty abused. Someone replaced the stem and did a number on the shank, rusticating over the grand sin of “restorations,” an over-buffing job, haha. Red Barks went into the mid-1980s, I believe, so, this one at least is between 197(1?2?)-198(5?)
