Onto the next bowl - well-rubbed out Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls

In the 2nd horn-stemmed Bulldog. This is again French-made - stamped WHC in an oval over France on the shank. Silver hallmarks but I've been unable to garner any information. No date letter.

This estate was in a poor condition when I got it - the bowl had been over-reamed with thin walls and a thin base. JB Weld followed by several layers of pipe mud, and allowing a thin cake to build up has it smoking really well now.

Looks splendid ... apart from the different design of the silver mount on the stem with the engraving it's like an after restoration photo of this one WHC Cased Bulldog :: British Pipes - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/whc-cased-bulldog.40958/

Filled 2 bags of stuff for the Salvation Army and got another box of books for sale today; been busy indoors during Storm Franklin!
Going to collect my 2 new clay pipes and 25g pouch of Cannon Plug from the Royal Mail delivery office today.
All the stuff I've got rid of is like getting an extra cupboard / chest of drawers!

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
