<q>The company expanded, offering specially designed pipes during the 1920s that would be marked OD for "own design" (see examples [[A DUNHILL ODA SHAPE CHART]]). This concern for marking and always having patent numbers on pipes is what allows for much of the dating process today. The stamping during the twenties was inconsistent and some of the early shell pieces lack marking altogether. later, in the 1930s there was a desire to standardize. A shape chart was developed (see more about [[Dunhill Shape Chart]] & [[Dunhill Shapes List]]) that used numbers and letters to signify a specific shape. Each new pipe would be stamped to identify its size and shape.</q> Smokingpipes<ref name=sp>Smokingpipes (November 2006). A History of the Dunhill Brand.

<q>L’entreprise s’agrandit, proposant durant les années 20 des pipes au design spécifique qui étaient marquées « OD » pour « own design » (création personnelle),(en voir des exemples ici : [[A DUNHILL ODA SHAPE CHART]]). T Cette préoccupation des marquages et le fait de toujours avoir des numéros de brevet sur les pipes aide beaucoup dans le processus de datation aujourd’hui. Les marquages durant les années vingt étaient irréguliers et quelque unes des shell les plus précoces manquent totalement de marquages. Dans les années trente on voulut standardiser. On créa une charte des formes (en voir davantage ici : [[Dunhill Shape Chart]] & [[Dunhill Shapes List]]) qui attribua des chiffres et des lettres à une forme spécifique. Toute nouvelle pipe devait être marquée afin d’identifier sa taille et sa forme.</q> Smokingpipes<ref name=sp>Smokingpipes (November 2006). A History of the Dunhill Brand.
