In 1922 the Parker Pipe Co Limited was formed by Alfred Dunhill to finish and market what Dunhill called its "failings" or what has come to be called by collectors as seconds. Previous to that time, Dunhill marketed its own "failings", often designated by a large "X" over the typical Dunhill stamping or "Damaged Price" with the reduced price actually stamped on the pipe.
En 1922 la Parker Pipe Co Limited fut créée par Alfred Dunhill pour finir et commercialiser ce que Dunhill appelait ses "ratés" ou ce que les collectionneurs ont commencé à appeler des "seconds choix". Auparavant, Dunhill commercialisait ses propres "ratés" souvent désignés par un grand X par dessus le marquage Dunhill habituel ou "Damaged Price" avec le prix réduit gravé "en dur" sur la pipe.

In 1946, the remaining shares of Hardcastle were obtained, but it was not until 1967 when Parker-Hardcastle Limited was formed.
