Dunhill Shell (1921-40s Make) Sandblast Pot Sitter Estate Pipe
Item # EE267446$385.00
Details
Having survived for almost a century, this older Dunhill Shell pot estate pipe features a deep and distinct sandblast finish in the classic dark burgundy and black tones. Thick in the shank and tapered in the stem, this lightweight and comfortable clencher from England has a mostly cylindrical chamber with a wide draft that allows a particularly open draw. Just right for an hour long smoke, there is some inner rim darkening and minor wear on the bowls inner shoulder and while the patent number is still clearly legible, this old English smoker isn't as crisp in its stampings as it was last century. The exact date code was either never stamped or has been worn away, though the rest of the nomenclature is still present.
