Exclusively third party made pipes. Shape numbers running from 1 through 30 (but not only in this period) and probably, DUNHILL over DUKE ST. S.W stamps. Stamping in these years is presently unknown, but it should be something like that:
Duke ST. S. W. |
1-30 | DR (B) or A | No Patent |
First own partial (still using bowls shaped in France) production introduced in 1910. Initially, made from over century-old briar burls, classified by a "B" (denoted highest quality pipe); "DR" (denoted straight-grained) and an "A" (denoted first quality), until early 1915. After that, they became a high-end subset to the Dunhill 'Bruyere'. The DR and B pipes, a limited production, they should be distinguished as hand cut in London from burls as opposed to the Bruyere line which was generally finished from French turned bowls until 1917.

Bruyère line, shape numbers beginning with 31. Generally finished from French turned bowls until 1917. Classified by an "A" (near the bowl to indicate first quality) on the side of the shank with an "Inner Tube" stamped.
