I have been collecting Squat Bulldogs for I guess 30 years now. My favorite pipe shape. I never counted them...maybe 90. I have been blessed in that I have humbly accepted awards from The Conclave Of Richmond Pipe Smokers Pipe Show for 'Best Pipe Collection' and the pictures shown were from the infamous Chicagoland Pipe Show... voted 'Best Educational Display'. I am selling many of them here on Ebay starting today. My focus was 'historical significan...ce', and/or supreme excellence of workmanship. You won't find any 'seconds' here..lol. If Squats are favorable to you too, stay tuned for the Squat Bulldog emails. Lawdogpipes reconditioned all of them so they are in EXCELLENT condition.........Today I am offering a, at least 40 year old, BBB "Best British Briar". One of the best, revered, historical and collectible English pipes of all time. I hope the pictures do this beauty justice. Sorry for 'the shadows darn it! Incredible craggy blast on both sides of the bowl and shank. And it is more red and black like the original Dunhill Shells.. It looks NEW except for Very minor tooth chatter on the stem . And yes, his ORIGINAL cloth pouch is included. Overall length: 5 9/16. in., bowl height: 1 3/8 in. with a rim diameter: 1 1/4 inches making the pipe a perfect Dunhill Group 4 "O" in size. I certainly will miss this wonderful piece of glorious English smoking pipe history.
