At first, this rounded marking was thinner and made in celluloid, a species of an acrylic predecessor, which was used until the mid-40, when it was replaced by high-quality acrylic. Because of its appearance, it was defended for years and for many, that the point was made in ivory. However, it is a widespread legend for years, as evidenced by the information and tests executed in the Pipes Magazine Forum, in a post called "Dunhill White Spot Drama". Up to 1976, all the stems were made by hand. They have now been machined due to labor costs. | At first, this rounded marking was thinner and made in celluloid, a species of an acrylic predecessor, which was used until the mid-40, when it was replaced by high-quality acrylic.
