Backstory: hit a antique market today in the pouring rain, and found a couple pipes.
Two Dunhill's and One Savinelli. Below are all the marking on the pipes, and how they are on the pipe.
Dunhill#1:
112 F/T Dunhill

Root Briar
Dunhill#2 (looks like a mouse got to this one, have of the side is chewed in a bit)
148 or 448 Dunhill Made in

Shell Briar England 1 3 (in a circle) S.
Savinelli:
Punto ORO 704

Birdeye Italy
All for $25 bones although they look like they got wet and the finish is gone, needs some dye and a polish. Going to let them dry for a week or so first, just to be sure.
Thanks in advance!

Too bad the shell looks like it was gnawed on by a mouse. Same thing happened to mine, which I posted earlier today. My Shell is from 1932 so yours is likely of a similar age. Here's a handy dating tool.
