254-DS SavColl 2012 Sm R4900.00 6mm option SOLD
The briar bowl is halfway between Brandy and Egg style. The bowl features swirling flame grain with some Birdseye, which continues along the shank. The very long, cylindrical shank is slightly conic and as a result looks even longer to the eye thanks to the briar insert on the mouthpiece.
254-DS DHDP Root 4103
A classic Billiard bowl with a taper stem. You can enjoy the beautiful straight grain on most of the bowl, and equally beautiful flame grain on the rest of the bowl, and along the shank. The rim and base of the bowl and the top and base of the shank have stunning clear Birdseye to match.
I haven’t been offered a Dunhill Root Briar for the last 2 years at least. The only pipes offered in that finish appear to have been selected for their grain and are being offered as Dunhill Straight Grains. The price is about a premium of 50% for 1 star straight grain (partially straight grain) to 12 times the normal Root Briar price for a 6 star full straight grain.
At this year’s prices this Dunhill would retail for over R30000 even though it is not marked Straight Grain.
Another interesting note – this pipe was manufactured in 2012, the year that Dunhill changed the branding from the circled Dunhill to The White Spot with Alfred Dunhill’s above and below.
This pipe must be one of the last to have the old stamp.
254-DS PsonSH Rathbone SOLD
This large curved tobacco pipe boasts a generous Billiard bowl with very straight sides, combining elegance and stature.
It pays tribute to Basil Rathbone, one of the earliest actors to portray Sherlock Holmes on screen.
His profile is used on the box, and stamped on the hallmarked sterling silver band.
