Pipes For Sale (2/11/06)   

(I am presently looking for a 1922 Dunhill Bruyere Shape 60 Billiard ("D with tails" & 2 datecode)  as well as pre WWII Dunhill OXs & '20s or '10s LBs  and similar large shapes in all finishes - if you have any available please let me know.)   please note my email is: levlor@rcn.com

I have posted my pipe collection principallyfor display but I will entertain cash offers or trades that improve my core collection (my 'core collection' are Dunhill: a) pre WWII LBs [482s], LCs [128s], OXs, ESs, and similar size shapes; b) patent number ODs; and c) 'carved heads') you can see the collection at: http://www.loringpage.com/pipecollection/pipecollection.htm

A limited number of the 4 volume Dunhill Catalog Compilation and the 1 volume, other English pipe makers catalog compilation are available, see Catalog Compilations


A list of pipes from my collection for sale with links to individual scans of the same. Payment may be made by US $ check or money orders or by credit card through PayPal.com (account:  levlor@rcn.com). Unless otherwise noted all pipes are returnable within three days of receipt for full refund (except for shipping). Shipping is:  $5 Uninsured Priority Mail shipping for domestic orders plus and additional $7 for insurance (usually via UPS) and  International shipping is $12 uninsured airpost.   Uninsured shipments are at buyer's risk. 

Who are you dealing with?  I know it's always a bit of a question mark dealing with someone over the net especially if you are overseas.  While I can't guarantee you that I won't drop dead tomorrow and thereby screw up your order, it may ease your mind to know that I am a fairly stable sort (same wife for over 30 years, same address for over 25 years) a professional with significant income and substantial net worth who collects pipes.  I also have a dog, a ‘twentys’ daughter and a teenage son.  Federal law precludes offering the latter two and neither money nor pipes can tempt me as to the former.

You can reach me at: levlor@rcn.com

DUNHILL

The other two pipes are both in excellent condition with original bits - $2000

(#d20s-PR-s-308)  1920s Dunhill #308:  A 1920's silver military bit prince.  In the 1920's Shells with a sliver military fitting were stamped on the cup rather then the wood and generally without a date code. This is a petite prince in excellent condition and a strong blast. - $275
For scan see:  d20s-PR-s-308.jpg

(#d36-LB-s-LB)  1936 Dunhill LB 8:  A 1936 Shell LB of interest because without looking at the nomenclature one would readily date it to the 1920s because of its craggy blast and shape.   In excellent condition but with a replacement bit and a somewhat more wear then one would like. - $450

(#D39-b-c60)  1939 Dunhill Bruyere  #C60 Churchwarden:  A 1939 Bruyere shape #C60 Churchwarden,  A large and rare pre war churchwarden with a slight bend to them stem and a classic 'group 4' billiard bowl..  The pipe is 12" long and 1 3/4" tall.  It is in excellent  condition, rims sharp, bowl in round, bit appears to be original, a few knicks, nomenclature fully readable A   DUNHILL over LONDON on one side and on the other MADE IN ENGLAND over PAT.

d60-b-oda837.jpg(#d60-b-oda837)  1960 ODA 837 BullDog Bruyere A 1960 ODA 837 Bruyere Bulldog in excellent   refurbished condition together with the original box & sack.  The pipe is 6" long and 2" tall.  It is in excellent  condition, rims sharp & in round, bit appears to be original, a few knicks, nomenclature fully readable ODA 837   DUNHILL over BRUYERE  on one side and on the other MADE IN over ENGLAND0  I got this 'just refurbished' pipe & original box in a trade and it hasn't been smoked since - $425
For scan see:  D60-b-oda837

(#D60s-s-FET)  1960s Dunhill 14K Gold Cup&Spigot Shell  shape # FET:  One of Dunhill's classic 'prince' shapes, the slightly bent large 'prince' with an <AD> 14K gold cup & spigot military mount.  The gold weight of a cup & spigot fitting can sometime adversely effect the balance of a Dunhill standard shape, but I find that in the case of the FET (& the FET) it makes for a better ballanced pipe - particularly so with the FET.   The pipe is 6 1/4" long and 1 1/4" tall.  It is in excellent condition, bowl is in round, the rims are sharp, the  bit appears to be original, there is a mild ding in the gold cup, the sandblast is crisp and the nomenclature is fully readable::  FET  followed by DUNHILL over SHELLBRIAR followed by MADE ... over ENGLAN.. . As with most all sandblasted cup & spigots the nomenclature, including the date code, it is partially covered   Conservatively I have dated this pipe to the 1960s but looking at the bit I suspect that this pipe in fact dates a decade earlier - $525

D66-s-r.jpg(#D66-s-r)  1971 Dunhill Shell Pot with a rare STERLING lip:  This is a very nice 1975 Shell pot, but what makes this pipe a rareity is that it has a Sterling Silver bit lip.  This is a feature offered by Dunhill on custom order but very rarely found.  The pipe is in excellent condition with a nice blast for the period and an original bit. The pipe is 5 1/4" long and 1 1/2" tall.  The rims are in round and crispt, as is the nomenclature: R   DUNHILL over SHELL BRIAR followed by MADE IN over ENGLAND6 followed by (4) S   . - $350

(#D77-r-51122)  1977 Dunhill TinderBox Anno Gold Banded Root Chimney Billiard:  This is a 1977 Dunhill Tinderbox Anniversary pipe (# 281) in the form of a group 5 billiard chimney, shape 51122. The pipe is factory fitted with a 9K gold AD Tinderbox Anno band and has exceptional graining with slanted straight graining on either side, a birds eye back and a mix of straight grain and birds eye on the front. The pipe is 5 1/2" long and 2 1/4" tall. It is in excellent condition. Rims are in round and sharp, aside from a few minor nicks the bowl is clean, the bit appears to be original and the nomenclature is strong: 51122 over DUNHILL over 281 on one side and on the other: MADE IN over ENGLAND17. The wide 9k gold band is stamped with the Tinderbox crest, an AD in a diamond and London hallmarks. This is one of the very best of the Dunhill Tinderbox Anno pipes. - $375

(#D78-r-61061)  1978 Dunhill TinderBox Anno Gold Banded Root Group 6 Billiard :  This is a 1978 Dunhill Tinderbox Anniversary pipe (# 257) in a group 6 billiard/pot, shape 61061. The pipe is factory fitted with a 9K gold AD Tinderbox Anno band and is remarkable in two respects: first, it is a group 6, very few of the Tinderbox Anno pipes were that large, and second, it is in fact an ODA 853 save for the stampings, I know of no other   Tinderbox Anno pipe made in an ODA shape, much less one as seldom found as the 853. The pipe is 6" long and 2" tall. It is in excellent condition. Rims are in round and sharp, the bowl is clean, the bit appears to be original and the nomenclature is strong: 61061 DUNHILL over 257 on one side and on the other: MADE IN over ENGLAND18. The wide 9k gold band is stamped with the Tinderbox crest, an AD in a diamond and London hallmarks. An exceptional example of the Dunhill Tinderbox Anno pipe series. - $450

Most probably  it was originally part of 1950's Dunhill factory production, graded out because of a flaw at the top of the bowl but taken from the factory a quarter of a century later, 'topped' an 1/8th of an inch and passed off as  a correct Dunhill. --  $400
