Hey everyone.

For anyone in the mood for some lighthearted fun:

I'm happy to share a little project I started some time ago and have finally finished: an article that delves into a fascinating puzzle for Dunhill collectors.

It’s all about the challenges of dating pipes from the World War II era and focuses on John C. Loring's hypothesis. He theorized that wartime disruptions forced the company to use a specific, dateless nomenclature on some Shell models between 1941 and 1945. The article, "Resolving a Chronological Anomaly," presents new material evidence.

You can read the full paper here: https://pipedia.org/images/2/2d/Resolving_a_Chronological_Anomaly.pdf

This is the first of what I hope will be many such papers on Pipedia, developed with the help of important collaborators. In fact, another one with Guss is already in the works. More news on that soon.

All the best.
