I Blame Sparrowhawk

Congrats Duane! Pretty classy looking!

I'm actually starting to take a liking to the more tradition shapes. Straights and billiards used to never turn my head, but they have caught my eye a lot recently.

brad, how in the world did you locate a WWII era Dunhill? I thought briar was almost unavailable and those pipe were rare to nonexistent.
That '74 looks like a nice one. Congrats on that.

Being a size 4 it's kind of on the small side, but should make a great clencher or pocket pipe.

Can't believe you bought a Dunhill... I am without words.

Scary actually. I'm afraid it may have caused a tear in the space time continuum 8O

Were gonna have to track down Eleven to fix the tear.

I have looked for years and early one Thursday morning, SPC had estates, I click on Dunhill and see a 1943 RB ODA FOR SALE, MY HANDS STARTED SHAKING, LATER IREALIZE I DIDNT LOOK AT THE PRICE,. I click and screen says it's yours, 550$, I would have paid twice that amount. Happy,Happy,Happy.

Technically my second. I bought a Ruby Bark billiard before, and traded it.

Love that feeling! Like a kid on Christmas morning!

Good snags, all around. I am lucky to have gotten my birth year Dunny from N8 about a year ago.

 

[jefff]

N8 is an all around god guy...
With just a touch of psychopath.

I'm very fortunate in that I have birth year Dunhills for my Grandfather (1920), my father (1938), my mom (1943) and myself (1963).
I still can't actually get my head around Duane owning a Dunhill. Although he said he has a Redbark, so I can see him hating on Dunnies.

Traded it for three tins of Mephisto a few years back.

I think Duane talks down the Dunnies, then secretly is buying them all up........... you know how those Black Frigate boys are!!......... :mrgreen:

 

[buckaroo]

That's a bit wild as even the queen of England has heard how you loathed the 1 Dhill you owned.

Hey! I resemble that remark.... I mean.... Hey! I resent that remark :mrgreen:

Black Frigate? What's that?

That would explain the gold stationery note I got that simply read, "We are not amused". :mrgreen:

I'm not a fan of Dunhill pipes, nor have I understood the crazy idea of having a birth year pipe. With that said it is a nice looking pipe, so I hope it treats you well. Happy Smokes.

+1 on both counts, but something about that one bit me. Now I'm looking at family birth years, and comparing them to available pipes.

 

[johnbarleycorn]

Personally I think there is just something very cool and nostalgic about owning a classic pipe that was made the year you were born. Same goes for guitars and cars. And now as a result of this and Sparrowhawks original post, I am lusting over a 1964 bent billiard from the same site. Maybe it will pass.....
