Well, this one sure fits the "interesting" part of this thread title. Wanted to post it before it was done, but rules and all.

We were discussing that one on the fake dunhill thread, I'm surprised someone popped for $46! But hey, if you think that's a Dunhill, you probably feel like a winner!

Completely missed that thread. I think I've seen this pipe before a couple times and each time it's gone for way more than I would have expected.

Cracked shank. Next to bowl. Picture #7.

Completely missed that. I expect the buyer will be returning it. That's a shame because it's such a unique pipe.

With that amount of restoration, I'm surprised Todd didn't mention the crack.

I guess he missed it as well. It's not where one would normally look for a crack.

I was the sole bidder on this "cherry wood" pipe with a conspicuous "ES6" stamp that turned out to be a 1937 patent Dunhill. In fact there was a thread here about ES shapes ongoing while this pipe was listed.

That's wild - I took a look at it and never added it to my 'watch' list, thinking it would go for more than I would be willing to pay. Congratulations!

Of course it's a heck of a deal on a Dunhill, though the rim of the bowl and the button are a bit roughed up it appears.

Thanks to you both for the kind comments?. I must confess that although I am not a "Dunhill guy," I've always wanted a nice patent. I was very happy the boughs of the eBay tree dipped within reach of my rather financially short arms.

One tooth mark and fortunately the rest has proven to be filth that wiped away rather easily. Though I was a little surprised that it appears to have been finished with some sort of red aniline dye. I've cleaned a few Dunhills and never had anything like this come off the pipe. And the upside-down '57' is also a bit of a mystery.

I won this the other day. I wasn’t going to post it until the item arrived, so I could check whether the 1884 band was original or an aftermarket addition, and I also wanted to do the sticky finger test to see if there was any pressed meer mixed in with the clay. But anyways…

£0.99 !!!! Bravo! ? Curious what the mortise looks like in there. Perhaps it was meant for a bone screw tenon?

I paid a little more than that, but not much.

I can’t imagine how a bone tenon and a clay mortise would work. I just assumed it was a military mount

 

[PipeIT]

.99 Euro and the shipping is what kills ya... LOL ?

Update on the barling clay. Its a meer ??
