Two Dunhills from the 60's

[jimmyh]

Got 2 Dunhills with the mail today.

Both came with the original box and sock along with 2 folders, a guarantee note, aluminium tube and "dri- pipe" tubes.
The Shell Briar is an unsmoked 36 group 4 from 1969 and the Tanshell is a 331 group 3 from 1964 that has been smoked but not broken in yet.

Very nice. That's quite a find. Happy Smoke Rings with them.

Great looking Classics! Are they your firsts? Looks like you have the "Dunhill Bug", I know the symptoms, I've suffered from it for years! :roll:

Thanks for the kind words. These are the third and forth dunhills i own and i'm trying to ge "7 day set" in all the blasts dunhill are making in Liverpools, lovats and canadians. So i guess you could say i got the bug.

Ooooh-la-la. Where did you find these beauties? Unsmoked, not broken in. Was this a garage sale at

the haunted mansion? Stunning pipes.

Right! Inquiring minds want to know.
These are beautiful looking pipes.
Congrats

I bought a tan colored sandblasted Barling a few days ago and the seller have been selling a few english made pipes with weekly auctions on a swedish site so i just asked him if he had sandblasted Dunhills for sale. There was also a Tanshell lovat group 2 from 62-3-4 something in the same condition as the Tanshell above but i had to decline that one sadly. Untill we move i'm limited to 15 briars and i'm on 14 and still missing a Ruby Bark lovat.

That is a very focused collection! (Also, I'm moving this to the British pipes sub-forum)
