A traditional, muscular design, Dunhill's "04" straight Bulldog is rendered here in Group 6 size and boasts an exceptional hearty form and deep chamber. Replete with a subtle ridgeline beneath the tapered rim, the upright bowl is paired to the form's characteristic, crisply lined diamond shank and fitted with a jet-black, vulcanite saddle stem. Handsomely wrought, this piece is dressed in the English marque's Ruby Bark sandblast.

Dunhill's Ruby Bark finish is one that's gone through a fairly extensive evolution since its inception in 1972. It began as the Redbark and has always remained a red-stained sandblast, but the color was brightened a few years after its introduction before Dunhill returned to the original, darker hue in 1976. Eventually, though, the Redbark was discontinued in 1987. After a hiatus of several decades, the same ruby-stained sandblast was re-imagined in the form of today's Ruby Bark finish, adding to the rich aesthetic crisp accents of sterling silver for a colorful presentation that still retains a high level of formality.
