'''Sir Walter Raleigh's Pipe & Alfred Dunhill.'''<br>This Pipe, probably the first owned by an Englishman, was presented to Sir Walter by the American Indians. For over three hundred years it was treasured by succeeding generations of the family of Bishop Andrewes, to whom it was handed by Sir Walter Raleigh on the scaffold. On November 28th, 1911, it fell by a strange chance into the appropriate hands of Alfred Dunhill, who exhibits it at 30, Duke Street, Saint James's, London, S.W. | |||
