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 documents a Danish-made briar pipe carrying the SCOTT mark with the line designation Old Briar and the shape number 529. The piece is a straight acorn: a bowl profile that tapers from a broader upper section down toward the heel, echoing the seed-pod silhouette from which the shape takes its name, mounted on a straight shank-and-stem axis. The acorn is a form with a long pedigree in European catalogues, prized for combining a generous chamber opening with an elegant, tapering waist. The bowl is finished in sandblast, a treatment in which the softer summer growth of the briar is abraded away under pressure, leaving the harder grain structure standing in relief. On Danish work of the twentieth century the sandblast was a favoured finish, both because it revealed the character of the wood and because Danish makers cultivated tactile, sculptural surfaces as a point of national style. Denmark's pipe industry, centred on workshops that ranged from large factories to small independent carvers, exerted a strong influence on post-war pipe design, and export-oriented Danish marks circulated widely under a variety of brand names. Dating rests on the stampings as reported: the SCOTT brand mark, the Old Briar line name, and the three-digit shape number 529, a numbering convention typical of factory shape charts. The record therefore stands as an example of the Danish sandblast acorn as a type, anchored by its shape number and line stamping.

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 9 sales of SCOTT between 2017–2026 — median $40, most falling between $24 and $150.
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, 2022-11-26. 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. 6 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.
