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 Stanwell Silk Brun in the maker's shape 113, a smooth-finished Short Canadian of Danish estate origin. The Canadian is one of the classic shank-forward shapes of the pipe canon: a billiard-type bowl carried on a long oval shank cut from the itself, finished with a comparatively short stem. The 'Short Canadian' designation indicates a compact rendering of that formula, retaining the oval shank and restrained proportions while reducing overall length. The Silk Brun line belongs to Stanwell's family of named finish series, here presented as a smooth brown treatment that displays the 's grain openly rather than concealing it under rustication or sandblast. Stanwell occupies a foundational place in Danish pipe history. The three-digit shape number stamped on Stanwell pipes, here 113, keys the pipe to that standing shape chart, which allows a given design to be identified across decades of production and across many finish lines. Stanwell did not employ a factory date-coding system, so individual pipes cannot be dated to a specific year from their stampings alone. The pipe is archived as a representative document of Stanwell's numbered shape system and its smooth-finish estate output.

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 685 sales of Stanwell between 2016–2026 — median $69, most falling between $47 and $125.
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, 2022-11-07. 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. 7 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.
