*Here is a complete 1966-67 Dunhill Catalog, courtesy of Václav Blahovec [https://pipedia.org/images/3/3f/Dunhill_Catalogue_1966-67.pdf Dunhill 1966-67 Catalog]. It was printed in the UK so the prices are mostly in Shillings, with the exception of the Dunhill DR pipes, which are in pounds. The catalog includes lighters, accessories, pouches, smokers´furniture, tobaccos, cigars and cigar cabinets, cigarette holders and even matches. Very interesting! Here are a couple of pages, but you'll want to see the entire catalog: | *Here is a complete 1966-67 Dunhill Catalog, courtesy of Václav Blahovec [https://pipedia.org/images/3/3f/Dunhill_Catalogue_1966-67.pdf Dunhill 1966-67 Catalog].

When we compare these two catalogs we can see that the price has changed from shillings to pounds. The value of the pipes is similar, but DR pipes are much more expensive than in 1967. And there are many more accessories, including jewelry, clocks, silver, crystal glass, drinking accessories, Dunhill toiletries, and gifts from Alfred´s bar and novelties. | *And here is a complete 1969-70 Dunhill Catalog, courtesy of Radek Jůza.

Abstract: R.D. Fields writes, "As a pipe collector, a pipe hobbyist, and as a Dunhill principal pipe dealer, I hear comments over and over again about the comparative merits of the older pipes versus the newer models.
