Dunhill Shell LB (1971 Make) Sandblast Billiard Group 4 Sitter Estate Pipe

This Large Billiard Dunhill Shell estate pipe, from 1971, is stamped as a group 4 size, but the muscular proportions make it seem a little smaller than actually holding it in hand.  Too big to clench all day, it is comfortable to rest between jaws for shorter periods while smoking.  The stem is not original to the pipe though it has been hand cut to capture the original lines quite well.  Additionally, the chamber of substantial size had been over reamed so a sodium silicate bowl coating has been added to guarantee many more generations of enjoyment from this classic collector's briar.
