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.
This reference example is a smooth-finished straight billiard, shape number 88, from the Danske Club line produced by Stanwell of Denmark. It is fitted with a 9mm filter system, the bore standard that dominates the German and broader continental European market, where a paper-and-charcoal filter cartridge seats within an enlarged tenon-and-mortise arrangement in the shank. Danske Club occupies an instructive place in the Stanwell story. Danske Club functioned as an associated line built to Stanwell's factory standards, typically emphasising filter-fitted pipes aimed at markets where the 9mm system is the norm. Pipes of this lineage thus document how a major Danish manufacturer adapted its house shapes to continental smoking habits. The billiard is the foundational shape of the modern pipe canon: a cylindrical bowl set at roughly a right angle to a straight shank of comparable length, with the whole composition prized for its balance and restraint. In Danish factory work the form is often rendered with slightly softened lines relative to the strict English pattern, and a smooth finish such as this one displays the 's natural grain across an uninterrupted surface. Dating rests on the line attribution itself. Neither Stanwell nor its Danske Club marque employed a systematic factory date code, so individual examples are ordinarily bracketed by logo styles, nomenclature layout, and country-of-origin conventions rather than by any explicit year mark. On the evidence available for this example — the Danske Club by Stanwell attribution, the shape 88 designation, and the 9mm filter construction — the piece is placed within Stanwell-era Danish production, with the precise period left undetermined in this record.

From 1 recorded sale — this pipe, this day. A single transaction is not a market price, and we will never print one as if it were.
The sample this sits in: Faridunhill has recorded 30 sales of Danske Club between 2017–2026 — median $63, most falling between $35 and $110.
The date shown is the date of sale, not the date this page was published. Our own transaction record, published free. No buyer appears here — not a name, not initials, not a country. Counted across both of our channels — eBay 2015–2022 and Etsy 2022–2026 — so the series is continuous and a change of marketplace is never read as a change in price.
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.
Instagram post, 2023-08-06. 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. 1 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.
