Steve Masticola,

           Sir, I need some help in determining the year of  a pipe I
recently purchased. I found this Dunhill pipe in an antique store in Houston
and purchased it for the unbelievable price of $24.00 plus tax...of course.
It is a rather large pipe, aprox. a group 5. It is a prince briar. On one
side of the shank it says Dunhill and under that it says London. The opposite
side says FET f/t, under that it says,Made in England with an 8
underlined(for the year made). Under that is the pat no. 417574/34. Does any
of this help ? If anyone can help it would be appreciated. After all the
antique shops I've hit over the years this is the second time I struck gold.
The first find was a 1940 Dunhill Rollalite Lighter for $25.00 in Austin,
Texas...I'm always looking for that next pipe. Thanks John Munoz...
