Le premier lot fut fabriqué en 1952.Le prototype, fabriqué en 1951, fut appelé "Root Shell". La Tanshell correspond à un sablage brun-roux clair. On utilise la bruyère deSardaigne pour ce sablage. Il existe une nette différence entre le sablage d’une bruyère sarde et celui d’une bruyère algérienne. La bruyère sarde est plus dense et plus dure. Le résultat obtenu, après sablage, est nettement plus équilibré et régulier qu’il s’agisse de la texture de surface mais aussi de la finition. | |||
<blockquote><q>The TanShell was Dunhill's fourth finish and its first major post-war line addition. Introduced in 1951/1952 the TanShell was a naturally stained sandblasted pipe made exclusively from Sardinian briar through the 1960s. The TanShell apparently was not simply a light stained Shell but rather was also the product of "certain processes [unrevealed] not previously employed." Initially, it appears that the pipe was to be named the Root Shell and a stamp to that effect was ordered and received by Dunhill in May 1951. Ultimately, however, the name TanShell was settled upon but the stamp for the TanShell name was not received by Dunhill until the beginning of December. Thus while the Tanshell was in production in 1951 it appears that most if not all TanShells made in that year did not enter into retail distribution until 1952 and were given a 1952 date code.</q> Loring, J.
