Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

[EA/DC]

Spiffy pipes gents
I suppose the bands are factory original to the pipes and not a later addition ?

I am quite sure they are factory original, yes. Unfortunately I can't ask the old man anymore...
The band on the 616 is part of the shankface, not a band around the shank.

The underside particularly is hypnotic in its shimmering chatoyance

Beautiful pipe, and what’s more I learned a new word today. Thank you.

Until I googled the definition I assumed it meant the emotion evoked by overhearing irritating chatter.

1974 for sure, but that stamp is odd!
Here is a 947 sold by Blue Room also a 1974, but a totally different shape.

Dunhill ODA 947 (1974 Make) Bullmoose Estate Pipe – Blue Room Briars

Scaled up to a a full hand full of thick walled briar shaped into a rhodesian bowl, this Dunhill ODA bullmoose estate pipe is designated at the time of its making in 1974 as bigger than a group 5. The large proportions do well to insulate a wide chamber deep enough to keep an ember going for at...

Yes Sir and the date stamp (14) is also way up and angled (like a second thought?)..the pipe smokes very well, feels very light

Definitely very rare with that burl and unknown-of-dunhill shape

Just acquired a Parker/Dunhill Super Briar Bark in Lovat style. According to stamp it was made in 1956.
As most will know, the Parker company basically consisted of Dunhill "seconds" so I decided to post this here.

A lovely old Parker pipe. And the stand is also very nice!
I have some old Parker pipes here that are great. In fact they are among my favorite pipes for use.
Maybe there should be a "Showoff your vintage Parker pipes" thread started here.

I think you're right. I was not familiar with them until I found this one and was taken by it.

I can tell you, now that I have used it a couple of times, that it smokes wonderfully. My mind floats to just how many times this old pipe has been a comfort to someone over the past 68 years through everything from Elvis taking over the music scene, the Bay of Pigs standoff, Marilyn Monroe o.d.'s, the Kennedy assassination, the Beatles arriving in the US, Vietnam, man landing on the moon, Woodstock, etc, etc, etc..........

And still it performs beautifully.....

This is my '69 Bruyere Group 2. I've had this since '98, give or take a year. While I've had several other Dunhills over the years, they've all be sold or traded. This is the only survivor. I bought it off the web from an online friend, now long departed. He sold it to me for $55 due to a hairline crack in the shank. I took it to Dick Silverman of Chief Catoonah's who had it banded in sterling for me by Mark Tinsky. Sadly, the band overriddes some of the nomenclature, but so it goes. I've kept this pipe for the memories, and because it has as noble a provenance as any I own. It smokes well, too.

Thank you! Yeah, I was wanting a BYD as well as a LB and then a pipe that filled both wants came up for sale at a time when I had money. The rest, as they say…
