Thank you for the sound advice.

Good luck on your search......... you'll find one that "speaks" to you if you look long enough........... we're a bunch of enablers here, if you didn't notice........... ?

I say go for it........... Old Dunhills are like old Harley Davidson motorcycles......... they just hold their value or even go up over time. Keep in mind that the 20-30's Dunhills are considerably smaller as a rule, not always, but I think tobacco was expensive back then, and smaller bowls were the norm.

I've noticed they are tiny back then in general no matter what make. I collect old Meers and they are scrawny back then compared to these behemoths we make now...

Agreed...... There are exceptions but 90% of them are pretty damn small............

I’m an 80s baby too. I settled on a Peterson Donegal Rocky for a birthyear pipe. Otherwise most of my smokers are first half of the last century, if not earlier.

Why are the Peterson emeralds so pricey? Were they a collectible green pipe? I see one ebay for 450 clams and wonder why?

Someone's got high hopes.

I can’t help you there sorry. The only reason I got a Pete from this decade is that it is my favourite finish in the Donegal Rockys…it was also a gift from brobs. (If you’re still out there lurking bro, cheers once again)
