Vintage Dunhill Torpedo Sterling Silver Bp

[titan75]

Hi All,

 

I hope to gain some feedback on this pen I have.

I have the exact pen in the link below:

Mine however does not come with the box or papers.

 

I am wondering if I'd be able to trade it for a good FP or should I just keep it for my own usage? What do you guys think?

 

Sorry mods it this is in the wrong section.

 

T.I.A.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Alan

Can't help you on saleability but to me it would rather depend on how long I had had it and or how I got it (sentimental value, I suppose).

 

I am really intregued though, just what is that blade/spadelike widget for? Being Dunhill I'm wondering if it is for digging muck out of a tobacco pipe?

I'm going to guess that is a letter opener.

It was gifted to be but not by anyone special, so the sentimental value is not that great.

I was under the impression that it was a letter opener, however some research showed that it is a cigar cutter?

My initial guess as well, but some sites described it as a cigar cutter.

Never liked my pipe cleaning suggestion and looks too blunt for a cigar cutter. I like the letter opener idea - seems obvious once someone else has thought of it for me..

Seems like the interest in this pen is not that great, this being a fountain pen forum after all.

I guess I'd just have to snap some photos and post it up in the classifieds to have a better judge of the response.
