*From 1910 through October 1918 Dunhill branded its pipes with DUNHILL over DUKE ST. S.W. (After this period, only in special editions, as the anniversary versions (75 years in 1985 and 100 years in 2007) which reproduces Dunhill pipes made in 1910.
*"DR"(Dead Root) more likely as that stamping was being used to denote straight grained pipes by at least as early as 1915. While these pipes in time became a high end subset to the Dunhill 'Bruyere' (and later the Root).
 
*In 1910 an Asorbal pipe was made part of that line with a filter similar to that of the cigarette. Loring believes that the Asorbal was made from French turned bowls and may have remained in production for some years as the initial 1924.


*Prior to 1923 the Bruyere "A"s are found both circled and uncircled, thereafter the "A" is uniformly uncircled. The uncircled "A" both before and after 1923 is sometimes followed by either a round or square subscript 'stop' (i.e o or []) or with a number below.

*From June 1918 through October 1918 a small round subscript 'stop', like this "o" was added immediately following the "A", that generally was stamped to the left of DUNHILL (Before that, they were aleatory and sometimes more than one, as you can see in the first figure above).
