[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 447614, member: 3775"] Hi all, A pipe club friend has asked me to look at an old Dunhill billiard he found at a local antique store. He'd like it restored so he can use it. Research has turned up a date range of 1919-1921. The pipe is stamped "7" (presumably a shape number?), then DUNHILL"S "SHELL BRIAR" Pat Nos. 119708/17 5861/12 No date stamp, no COM stamp The pipe is in rough shape - the rim is bashed in on the rear edge, the shank needs banding and the stem is a cheap replacement. I think that the stem is actually too short as well - the pipe measures a scant 5.5" in lenght, whereas every early Shell Briar I've found online measures between 5.75" and 6" long. Can anyone confirm my suspicions about the stem? [/QUOTE]
