Back in 1993 when Dunhill offered it's 12 days of Xmas set I signed up at my local B&M and bought them every year and I owned #207 in the series.
In 2003 the store changed managers and the idiot who took over neglected to place the order with Dunhill so myself and 2 other collectors did not get the correct number to complete our sets, it's the only one in the set that is not #207.
When it happened I immediately contacted the US Dunhill distributor at the time and they did what they could to find out where the pipe went but apparently Dunhill's records couldn't even tell us if it was sold in the US. Eventually I had to get another number.
Over the years I have watched to see if it comes up on eBay but no luck so far.
If you own this pipe please contact me. I have another I will trade you and include some very nice, rare tins of tobacco as incentive.
If someone can provide me with info that leads me to this pipe the same incentive applies. Or cash or a pipe if you wish.
From time to time I will bump this post, not too often though.
thanks,
