Dans l'Ephemeris hiver-printemps 2005, j'ai écrit un article sur la Dunhill LB ("Dunhill Large Billiard Variations” at pp. 37-39) et plus particulièrement sur la variante Shell des années 1920 ‘thin shank/straight bowl walls’ (tige mince/foyer droit") de la LB standard ‘thick shank / applish bowl’ (tige épaisse/foyer arrondi). Cependant, une acquisition ultérieure m'amène à voir les choses un peu différemment. | |||
It is a 2” tall, 5 ¾” long 1917 Dunhill Bruyere billiard stamped '''H.W DUNHILL''' [over] '''DUKE ST S.W.''' on one side and '''“INNER TUBE”''' [over] '''PAT. No 5681/12 8''' on the other. This is a remarkably large pipe for the “Duke Street” period, in terms of bowl height and length it is an LB and like smooth finished LBs of the 1920s it is stamped “H.W” (‘handworked’) and with an “8” inner tube size. It is not stamped “LB” but then that shape designation was probably not introduced until 1918/1919, so it is probably best viewed as a prototype. | It is a 2” tall, 5 ¾” long 1917 Dunhill Bruyere billiard stamped '''H.W DUNHILL''' [over] '''DUKE ST S.W.''' on one side and '''“INNER TUBE”''' [over] '''PAT.
