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…

What a beautiful selection of pipes! Isn't it a chilling treat to smoke a pipe that was made in your birth year?? Enjoy, my friend.
Finally after a long search, I managed to find a beautifully taken care of 1971 Dunhill Root Zulu.
Oh that is a beauty, PipeMarc.
I gather, from your comments, it is a recent acquisition. Is that correct?
Did you have to snatch a pebble from the palm of a Sholin priest or maybe run an Indian gauntlet?? Or perhaps string the bow of Odysseus???
Haha yes recent acquisition. As to the gauntlet that had to be completed to acquire this pipe, it was more in line with an out of shape Pheidippides taking two years to make it to Athens
Ha, ha. Great come back............... Enjoy your fine Dunhill.Haha yes recent acquisition. As to the gauntlet that had to be completed to acquire this pipe, it was more in line with an out of shape Pheidippides taking two years to make it to Athens
a small 1971 Dunhill 719 (quaint shape?) pickaxe 
small and very deep bowl..slight crack on the shank, will need it repaired and the whole pipe rejuvenated

1973 33 FT Group 2 Liverpool Shell
Is my most recent acquisition. My first group 2 and it’s small for my taste but was a good price and in unsmoked condition.

I decided to add a few shell briar 252 billiards to my rotation from Steve at Rebornpipes — they are fantastic and light on the jaw
But here i will show off two pipes: 1961 59 Tanshell and a 1969 253 F/T Root Briar that, interestingly, has the EX mark of an exchanged pipe from the same year of its manufacture.

I thought very hard about buying that Tanshell from Reborn.. I got another Dunhill instead, which I shall post here when it arrives. It was a real coincidence that you bought it right after I decided not to get it. It’s beautiful. Now I really want a Tanshell too.I decided to add a few shell briar 252 billiards to my rotation from Steve at Rebornpipes — they are fantastic and light on the jaw

I created a thread for this post whereas I meant to put it here: I’m wondering if Nhơn can tell me about the numbers on this 1950 patent pipe. 56 is the shape code but what is the “-62”? Thanks folks. 
59 minus 62 makes minus 3, makes no sense to me. But what a beautiful 1950 pipe !
Oustanding blast on this one.

1990 Dunhill 6103. This is huge compared to other dunhills.
1972 Dunhill Cavalier

But 56 minus 62 makes minus 6; now it makes sense!
