  <font size="2">'''*''' Note: This pipe is extraordinarily large -- 11 inches in length and 4 ¾ inches in height. It is un-smoked and remains in its almost flawless original case. I assume this pipe was made to be a display piece for a Dunhill shop, although the patent number is for American export, which makes it impossible to speculate as to what shop that might have been.  The pipe includes the original inner tube that also has correct patent stamping.</font>

  <font size="2">'''**''' Note: bowl height is almost 2.5 inches.</font>

  <font size="2">'''***''' Note: These pipes are the only two LO9’s that I have ever seen. I have not been able to find any other individual who has ever seen one.  Finally, to my best knowledge, the L09 is not listed in any Dunhill catalogue.  The pipe is essentially an outsized 120.</font>

  <font size="2">'''*''' Note: This pipe is LB size and sports 2 red bakelite factory mouthpieces.</font>

  <font size="2">'''***''' Note: From the personal collection of Edsel. This was Edsel James’ “go to” pipe for more than 40 years. It has a gold repair band and the nomenclature is too buffed to read the end of the patent number or the date stamp. See below where this pipe is pictured along with a picture from P&T of Edsel holding the pipe not long before he sold it to me.</font>
