Dunhill Tanshell 35 (1962 Make) Sandblast Billiard Sitter with Gold Spigot

Refined and elegant just don't do justice as adjectives to describe this gold spigot estate pipe from Dunhill when holding it in hand.  Made in 1962, this English billiard carries a military mounted stem with 14 karat gold fittings original from the factory which can easily be removed and reassembled even when the pipe is hot.  About a group 3 bowl size, the Tanshell finish carries the distinct nature of the grain, both in growth rings and dense patterns, though the darkening along the rim could not be removed during its restoration.  The chamber is in excellent condition however proving that this gorgeous and fantastically functional smoker has only been well loved.  Otherwise in outstanding condition, this fishtail stemmed beauty is ready for several more generations to impress.
