THE EINSTEIN

Anniversary
of the Theory of Relativity (2005)
Smooth Finish (Amber Root):
only 150 made |
|
|
"Sherlock Holmes
- A Study in Scarlet," 1987, No. 249 (250)
(One of the most sought-after of Dunhill's
commemorative issues.) |
SOLD |
|
Christmas Pipe
1981, No. 39 (< 100)
(Extremely rare:
between 70 and 90
sold. Comes in wonderful cloissonné burlwood box. ) |
SOLD |
|
"Royal Bruyere," commemorating
Charles & Diana's Wedding, 1981, No. 11 (c. 100)
(An historic, poignant,
and rarely-seen briar. I also include a large
stamp album containing over 70 first-day covers issued
by Commonwealth countries on 21 July 1981, the
day of the wedding.) |
SOLD |
|
"Veritas," The Harvard Pipe,
1989, No. 22 (100)
(Commemorating
Harvard's 300th anniversary. Two stems. ) |
SOLD |
|
Gourd Calabash with
Meerschaum Bowl
(Dunhill no longer
makes this classic design - in a sense, a second kind
of "Sherlock Holmes" pipe.) |
SOLD |
|
Bent Brandy
Meerschaum
A very rare
piece: I have seen only one other bent
Dunhill meerschaum in recent years. The sole marking is a white dot on the
stem. Presumably the pipe was made to Dunhill
specifications in Turkey. I've read that older
Dunhill meerschaums were made in Vienna by Bauer,
before they closed their European workshop. |
SOLD |

The Einstein Pipe, E=mc²
Dated 2005, this sturdy
Dunhill apple celebrates the 100th anniversary of
Alfred Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.
One of the world's most famous pipe-smokers, Einstein
is said to have favored this classic shape.
For this commemoration
issue, Dunhill produced 250 Shells and 150 Amber Roots. This
rare, smooth-finished pipe is number
133. |
