DUNHILL 1933 U. S. PATENT 1343253/20 " BOWLING BALL " PRINCE SHAPE 314
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:27177909 | Body Shape: PRINCE |
| Brand: DUNHILL |
What a special pipe this is. The Root Briar was introduced in 1931 and only two years later this gorgeous Prince was made with the somewhat rare "Bowling Ball" stem also known as Cumberland or Brindle today. Shape 314 is the original Prince shape going back to the 1920's and what a sleek and classy shape indeed and incredibly lightweight at only 25g! The Apple shaped bowl is on the smaller side yet has a decent chamber capacity. The pencil shank transitions gracefully to meet the down-...turned original Bowling Ball stem with the most beautiful fine "grain" I've ever seen on a Cumberland stem with straight bit and crisp white spot. The Root Briar finish indicated by the "R" stamp is lovely showcasing the starburst, cross and birdseye grain on the immaculate Corsican old briar. Stunning grain, absolutely gorgeous! Also to note there is a "126" stamp above the word "England". Dunhill's of old surprise us many times with mysterious stamps. This now 87 year old is a gem and in near perfect condition for its age. A Dunhill for the discerning collector!
