Dunhill Shell Briar 40 'Patent Era' 1954
Highly sought after patent stamped Dunhill
This pipe is in superb condition & has been barely smoked previously, the rim shows no sign of ever having any soot buildup, the chamber is in perfect condition & again showing very little sign of use, the stem is original also in superb condion, the nomenclature is bold with no wear & very easy to read
What also makes this pipe a little special is that 1954 was the last year of the patent stamping
The pipe has a wonderful craggy sandblast finish due to the softer, & in my opinion superior, Algerian briar used
As the years have progressed I am seeing fewer & fewer patent era Dunhill's, so to offer one in this condition is very rare
Fully sanitised & restored by us, ready to enjoy on arrival
