| [[Image:tanshell.jpg|thumb|right|Dunhill Tanshell, [http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/estate/england/index.cfm smokingpipes.com]]]The first lot was manufactured in 1952. The prototype was called "Root Shell ", produced in 1951. The Tanshell is a light tan sandblast. Sardinian briar was used for this sandblast. There is a distinct contrast in the sandblasts using Sardinian as opposed to Algerian briar. The Sardinian is much denser and much harder. The resulting pattern, when blasted, is far more even and regular both in terms of the surface texture and the finish. | | [[File:Dunhill-chestnut.jpg|thumb|right|120px]] |
