A stunning, vintage Dunhill Root Briar in the classic bent shape 656, showcasing the quintessential warm natural grain that made the Root Briar line famous.
This piece carries a fascinating piece of factory history: stamped with a 3 following "MADE IN ENGLAND" for a 1963 manufacture date, alongside an additional 4 suffix indicating it was held in inventory and re-stamped upon sale in 1964 to reset its one-year guarantee.
The bowl highlights swirling bird’s-eye across the underside and heel, giving way to sweeping straight and flame grain along the profile. Complete with its iconic hand-cut vulcanite stem featuring the signature White Spot in immaculate condition, this pipe represents peak 1960s London craftsmanship.
