I wasn't really looking for a Dunhill birth year pipe, as my taste in Dunhill shapes and my 1961 birth year add up to an expensive pipe. This 1961 Group 4 Shell pipe showed up on eBay last week and I was fortunate to win an early Sunday auction.
The pipe only required a mild clean up. The seller had not disclosed that the pipe was a filter pipe, but someone had fitted an adaptor, which works fine. The seller offered to refund part of the purchase due to the listing error, so that was a win.
My birthday is on Monday, so that was good timing. The wife absconded with the pipe, but I'll enjoy it on Monday.
I wrote a Reborn Pipes blog on the pipe, viewable here
