This is a pretty Shell, about Group 3. However, the nomenclature is
poor. The shape 39 F/T is easily readable. With a glass I can make
out Dunhill over Shell Briar. Everything else is gone. The band
protects a crack at the mortise. There are no toothmarks on the stem.
There's some darkening at the rim but inner and outer rims are still
fairly sharp. Length: 4 7/8
Height: 1 11/16
Chamber: 3/4
Bowl: 1 3/8
Depth: 1 15/32
Weight: 1.0 ounces (28.3 grams/ounce)
