From Mike at Briar Blues, it's on hold for me, a beautiful billiard made in 1964. He has a couple of other Dunhill billiards I wish I could afford to buy, especially the 1968 Bruyere Billiard.

Thanks. I get a real kick out of smoking old pipes. There is something really cool about smoking old briar that was shaped into a pipe by human hands back when craftsmanship meant something. My ultimate goal is to someday have an entire rack of pre-1970 Dunhills.Congrats on a great score. Enjoy with happy smoke rings.
Trust me, if I could swing it that '68 would be mine. I'd love to have it.You should add the 68 and the Schilling... It'd be s heckuva Dunhill trifecta.
If you sell blood plasma every other day for fifteen days you could buy the pipe and a tin of 'baccy.Trust me, if I could swing it that '68 would be mine. I'd love to have it.
Yes. Only it was during college, and I used the $20 to buy drinks at the bar. My favourite drink special was at a bar called The Armoury. The deal was called "Drinkin' with Lincoln" and was a five dollar cover, and then pitchers for a penny. Strangely, those nights are a little fuzzy.If you sell blood plasma every other day for fifteen days you could buy the pipe and a tin of 'baccy.

Previous experience, Pat??
Ha ha, that brings back memories Pat. When I was student at Purdue there was a place called Plasma Alliance that a lot of my friends used to frequent for beer money. I think at the time (1980s) they paid $20 per visit which would buy a lot of nickel beers on drink special night, not being a fan of needles I never participated.If you sell blood plasma every other day for fifteen days you could buy the pipe and a tin of 'baccy.
