Dunhill DRs



My DR collection is one of those that ‘just sort of happened’.

For instance, I was looking for larger early Duke Streets and the bulldog just happened to be a DR and the Poker, small Dublin and 1961 DRB LB were ‘wounded’ pipes that I picked up because they deserved to be repaired.

But along the way I came to the view that one of the high points of Dunhill pipe making came in the late 1950s and 1960s when Dunhill began to make DRs along the lines of some its larger standard shapes and now I actively seek out such pipes.



DUNHILL CHURCHWARDENS




DUNHILL GOLD WINDCAPS
(save for the gold crown, no longer part of my collection, but still nice to look and remember)
