Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
This Mr Brog No. 90 Steward is a smooth bent billiard with a brass band, a black acrylic saddle stem and a fishtail bit. Farid records the pipe as unsmoked and specifies a 9mm filter fitting. The stamp photograph establishes the maker spelling as Mr Brog.
The tall bowl rises from a rounded heel, while the shank curves upward toward the band. The saddle stem introduces a short step near the junction before its curved mouthpiece continues toward the bit. The smooth reddish-brown finish leaves flowing grain visible across the bowl and shank. The narrow brass band provides a distinct border between the wood and black stem.
At 124mm overall, this is a compact bent pipe with a recorded bowl height of 55mm. The 20mm chamber diameter and 43mm depth are listed separately below. The detached-stem photograph documents the tenon and fitting; the 9mm filter specification comes from Farid's intake.
THE MARKS The shank close-up reads Mr Brog, no. 90 Steward and Briar. These marks identify the maker name, numbered model and material wording visible on this example. No production date or shop-specific history is established by the available evidence.
CONDITION Unsmoked, as recorded by Farid. The photographs include both sides, the rim and chamber opening, the underside, the separated stem and the stamp. The unsmoked description is retained without adding a flawless or mint grade. All ten photographs are included.
THE MEASUREMENTS Length: 124mm (4.88 in) Bowl height: 55mm (2.17 in) Bowl width: 36mm (1.42 in) Chamber diameter: 20mm (0.79 in) Chamber depth: 43mm (1.69 in) Weight: 39g (1.38 oz)

This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
What this record still doesn't carry
- The attribute checklist is open on: original stem, stem replaced or re-cut, topped. These are facts, not opinions — anyone holding this pipe can close them.
- The stampings and attribution here are as reported with the piece. A second, independent source — a catalogue page, a dated advertisement, a hallmarked sibling — is what would raise this record.
- No shape number recorded — the maker's own catalogue designation for this form is still open.
Nobody leaves empty-handed. If you hold the catalogue page, the dated advertisement, or a hallmarked sibling that closes one of these — or simply own this model and can measure yours — send it in. Contributions are checked, credited to you by name, and the record is updated with the date it changed.
The witness
Faridunhill shop post, 2026-11-12. Published to a third-party platform on that date and archived since — a timestamp we cannot move. It is evidence that this object existed and looked like this, then.
The photographs are the identity. 10 images of this pipe's grain, stamping and stem are held as its fingerprint. The handle above is only a handle: lose it, and the pipe can still be matched back to this record from its grain.
