Collector's are definitely shapes that aren't in the standard range... the one I got was a shell w/ very nice ring grain, but it wasn't quite good enough to be stamped as such... also a unique shape.

It was actually quite similar to this one, but with a flat bottom and no plateaux on the top...

Hmm. lemme see what i can dig up...

http://www.dunhillcollector.com sez "Dunhill Collectors are special pipes that are periodically available. Collectors come in various shapes sizes and finishes."

A relatively meaningless statement, but it has a few pics...

the dunhill site (not easy to link to directly) sez "Non standard shapes and sizes - Available in most standard finishes"

Most of the ones I've seen pics of are vaguely "danish" in style.

But as far as I can tell, "quaint" means pretty much the same thing.


Oh well, nobody's ever accused Dunhill of being consistent.
