I emailed the seller and suggested as much, without pushing the matter.

This ad is interesting. I thought, Dunhill would exclusively provide men with luxury articles.

Kottan, I believe Dunhill catered to women to a rather significant extent.

Yes as far as tobacco products are concerned. I was thinking more of clothing items. In this respect, Dunhill was primarily a so-called men's outfitter.Today, the once great pipe brand has degenerated into a small niche in a huge Swiss luxury goods corporation. Not even the old brand name may be stamped on the pipes.

Yikes! the date looks like 1919 and the pipe was made by Delacour.

How long will this repair last?

“professionally sealed crack“

How long will this repair last?

My guess, not long. I suppose they would put a band on it. In 2019, I sold a 9242 for a pretty high price, and it had a disclosed cracked/repaired button, sold almost immediately, so I probably had it priced too low.

Intriguing ODA 837 in the more rare Root Briar finish.
Wonderful grain on this one too.
Pipe looks to be in fine condition; price is imho not over the top.
The pictures do not reveal much of the stampings.
Given the smaller, celluloid looking dot, my intuition tells me this is a patent pipe.
Please share your learned opions with me.

May be but I am sure on the other hand you are a fair seller. I often see some telling a pack of lies.
