	~~Sa taille est de 4 ¼ x 4 ¼ (10,8 x10,8 cm). L~~'~~extérieur est laqué noir avec une finition d~~'~~origine en étain brillant à l~~'~~intérieur. La boîte contient 12 feuilles de parchemin pour stocker~~ les mouches sur soie lestée. Les soies lestées sont retenues par une bande de parchemin fixée à la feuille par des rivets en laiton. Diverses mouches, hameçons et plombs sont inclus dans la boîte. Charnières sur le devant de la boîte.		'''Précisions sur les premières datation'''

	Since 1918 Dunhill has stamped its smooth finished pipes with a date code (non numeric through 1921 and numeric from 1922 forward) that allows us to determine the year of production. But for the initial years of production, 1910 – 1917, when Dunhill wasn’t concerned with being able to determine when a pipe was produced, save for what can be deduced from various patent stampings, dating with any specificity has been beyond our grasp. Recently, however, fellow collector, Kevin Chapman, turned his attention to the bits of those early pipes and what he found now allows us to date those early pre-date code pipes with a bit more specificity.
