Dunhill is the only factory made pipe that can be accurately dated. This contributes to it's popularity with collectors, but it can be difficult to accurately date any given pipe. We have imported R.D. Fields [[A Dunhill Pipe Dating Guide]] to Pipedia, by permission of the author.''' This guide is very helpful, but there are discrepancies in both the literature regarding the nomenclature, and anomalies in the nomenclature itself. We highly recommend the book by Dunhill expert, John C. Loring called, "The Dunhill Briar Pipe - 'the patent years and after''''. It is available from the [http://www.loringpage.com/attpipes/book.html author]. Loring also publishes corrections and additions on his website, which are extremely helpful.

We highly recommend the book by Dunhill expert, John C. Loring called, "The Dunhill Briar Pipe - 'the patent years and after''''. Unfortunately, John passed away several years ago, and his website has recently disappeared. Fortunately, the following article was saved by Doug Valitchka, who has made it available here on Pipedia: [[File:DunhillbyLoring.pdf]]. Unfortunately, the links within the article to the graphics and photographs are no longer active. Hopefully we can find them and make them available here soon. --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 16:59, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
