[[Image:DunhillA.jpg|thumb|1940, Shape #48 saddle bulldog in Root finish, G.L. Pease collection[http://pipedia.org/index.php?title=The_Mystery_of_the_White_Spot_-_Pipes_from_Dunhill]]]. Intorduced in 1931 and highly prized because the grain is more pronounced in this finish. The Root Briar finish required a perfectly clean bowl with excellent graining. Therefore, it is the most expensive of the Dunhill pipes. This is a rare finish, due to the scarcity of briar suitable to achieve it. These pipes are normally only available at Company stores, or Principle Pipe Dealers. | [[Image:DunhillA.jpg|thumb|right|1940, Shape #48 saddle bulldog in Root finish, G.L.
