This 93 year old Bruyere has weathered the years fairly well but,
nonetheless, shows her age. The nomenclature is entirely readable but
weak. On the left it's "Dunhill" over "London" to the right of "A"
for Bruyere. On the right, it's "Made in England" with a raised "7"
to the left of the shape number, "60" over "Inner Tube" over the
Patent number, ending with "/20."
The stem is original. There are shallow, buffed out tooth marks near
the lip. There's a bit of darkening on the rim. The inner rim is not
perfectly round because of reaming. There are three or four dings on
the shank bottom. The bowl shows the unmistakable patina of a well
loved pipe. Length: 5 13/8
Height: 1 7/8
Chamber: 7/8
Bowl: 1 7/16
Depth: 1 5/8
Weight: 1.5 ounces (28.3 grams/ounce) |
