Question about tenon on a Dunhill Bowling ball stem

Postby tinpan » Thu Sep 21, 2006 12:52 am
I am inthe process of unloading my Dunhill Collection on ebay and I have a question regarding a pipe I sold. It is an old Dunhill with a bowling ball stem. I am pretty up to speed with Dunhills from about 1950 on, but i am really not that knowledgable on early Dunhills.
My question is what type of tenon was used to join the stem with the pipe. This pipe has a tenon that is in the pipe and the stem screws on the pipe. I've seen the early 3 prong metal tenons and this is diffferent.
Nomenclature on left of bowl is as follows:
DUNHILL

LONDON
Nomenclature on right of bowl is as follows:
MADE IN ENGLAND 116
PAT No 368812 14

For purposes of comparison, Durham, my pipe is stamped as follows:
1. The pipe is a small Bulldog, group 2, with a saddle bit, made of Sardinian briar. The bottom of the pipe reads Dunhill Tanshell C. Below that is printed Made in England 17, and to the left is stamped 1938, and below that, 224. Of course, there is the white spot on the stem.
