== PREFACE TO THE FOURTH, ‘ADDENDUM’ VOLUME == | |||
This is the fourth and final volume of a compilation of Dunhill catalogs initially published three years ago in as many volumes. It is an addendum of important catalogs acquired since that publication together with my working set of twenty nine Dunhill pipe related English patents granted between 1904 and 1940. As with the preceding volumes the material has been scanned at high resolution, reduced to two catalog pages per addendum page and laser printed on high quality paper. | This is the fourth and final volume of a compilation of Dunhill catalogs initially published three years ago in as many volumes.

This compilation project began when I initially sought to write about the Dunhill ‘patent years’, i.e. 1910 – 1954, and found a dearth of readily available source material. It reflects both my efforts to develop those resources for myself and to effect an internet like, wide spread repository of the same for others in the future, not dependent upon any one individual or company. With this addendum I believe that project is complete. '''John C.
