what is your latest pipe purchase

Got this in the mail today from Ebay. It's a group 5 Dunhill 5102 estate pipe; can't decide if its a billiard or a brandy... What do you think? It needs some tender loving care. There is some damage to the rim; a little burned part that dips in just a tad.

Nice score! If I ever own a Dunhill, an estate is what it will be. What did you have to give for it (if you feel like disclosure).

I'd call that a brandy all day long. AFAIK billiards have an almost cylindrical external profile.

I paid $66.29 including shipping. I agree with you on the shape even though the 5102 is supposed to be a billiard. Found a post on the internet of an observation of another Brandy shaped 5102.

Nice pipe. A lot of people would doodoo in their pants at the idea of topping a Dunhill, but at least you've got plenty of room to do that if you choose. My attitude on it, well, I took a rasp to my only Peterson P-lip and flattened that sucker to make it smoke like a normal stem and never looked back LOL. Bet it'll be a nice user at any rate. Makes me want to go surf for some estates, but I know better than to peek with my underweight wallet!

I don't know if I'll top the rim to even it out; heck, I didn't even notice it until I looked at it from a certain angle. I'll probably just smoke it the way it is. The nomenclature is so weak as it is; if I did refinish it, the stampings would be gone.
