I’m thinking about purchasing. What’s the going rate? 1950s.

I'd be mildly surprised if there's a "going rate" for a pretty esoteric piece of Dunhillania.

Not a black spot, but an interesting bit of Dunhillalia.

I decided not to purchase as I’m trying to get a few rarities that someone brought to my attention. If anyone is interested I talked the seller down to $300 and free shipping to the US. Hallmark shows 1955. Anyway, not advertising. Just passing along the info. Thank you everyone for your input.

Certainly not a "black spot. If you want to make George Dibos apoplectic tell you have "black spot" Dunhill.

I have no idea who that is but anyone getting apoplectic about anythind dunhill is always a good time.

"Going Rate" on a Dunhill is impossible to forecast till the auction is over. About 3 months ago "A Lady's Cocktail Pipe" Circa 1934? came up for auction on the ebay. It was hanging around $600.00 till last 3 seconds and sold for $3.400.00. Tell the owner to put it up for auction and we can have a countdown party!

Is that a tamper with different colored tips?

I was triggered by my bot to ask about the esoterica mentioned by @jpmcwjr

Cigarette holder

Hmm.. the non-colored end looks square to me. I suppose as long as it's round on the inside it'll hold a butt.

It’s a woman’s cigarette holder to match her earrings or purse.

I don't see a pipe. What pipe are you discussing?
