What exactly is a "cunted" Dublin, I'm not familiar with that shape? However I do have an ex-girlfriend who might have been familiar with it!
Very special! But the rim and bowl should be much more oblong than the pix show...
BTW- Did Bill Clinton end up with cunted cigars??

I like that a lot.
I'd probably consider pulling the trigger but I'm on buying hiatus until Columbus.

MY GF told me this story. It happened last year. At Dunkin' Donuts they write the "flavor" of the coffee you order on the bottom of the cup. I guess they do this to keep themselves organized... So, coconut might look like CNUT.
My GF works in a middle school. Four 7th grade classes (about 100 kids+) were meeting in the auditorium for some kind of guest speaker. Another teacher whom no other adult or student can stand barges to front of the assembly and started ripping into the students for being a bit too noisy. As she spat venomous words at these middle schoolers... on the verge of losing control of herself... she'd take some sips from her DD coffee which happened to have coconut flavor in it.
She'd raise her cup to have a sip/swig and the kids would laugh even harder. This made her yell more.
Well, the person who wrote CNUT on the cup mixed up two of the letters in that word.

This Charatan Extra is a very rare piece and were made in the 1920-1930s. In the 1930s it would have sold for £12. At that time a Farm Worker's pay was about £2 per week so it would be equivalent to 6 weeks pay.
In those days, this would have been the Selected equivalent and the grade higher was the Super which later became Supreme.
I notice that this seller has a Frederick Charatan era cunted Dublin (what an unfortunate error) which is incredibly rare with stamp markings Charatans Make (no apostrophe) London. Eng. and no grade or shape no. I think Frederick Charatan priced his pipes by the piece rather than grading them.
I actually have a 'canted' Lonsdale straight grain from the Frederick Charatan era which I will hopefully sell directly to a collector rather than going through ebay.
