Holy grail! 1948 Dunhill Shell P

[bottils]

Finally got a hold of what has been a holy grail pipe for me, a patent era Dunhill Shell bent bulldog. Check out that blast!

Really wonderfull condition too, stem and button is clean and stampings almost factory crisp. Smokes oh so cool and oh so sweet. Had to sell of a few pipes to make this one happen, but totally worth it. This one is a keeper.

I am happy for you @battlis. Any pre-1955 Dunhill is great. The blast on that pipe is deep and craggy, I love it.

Happy for you! That one looks very much like something I would enjoy having as well. I don't see very many Dunhills that strike my fancy, but that one rings a lot of my bells with the bent shape, blasted bowl, and bulldog shape. Hope she smokes great for you!

Outstanding.
Bent bulldog is my favorite shape to start with. And this one is a classic beauty.

As someone who recently found their 'unicorn pipe', I know how great it is to finally get it. Congrats on a great acquisition!
