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.
A smooth straight pipe with a six-sided bowl, stamped Holiday Real Briar on the shank. The hexagonal bowl is cut with flat facets that catch the light, and it sits on a diamond-section shank that carries the same angular line through to the stem.
THE MARKS The shank is stamped "Holiday" over "Real Briar". We have no documented maker history for the Holiday name, so we state nothing about its origin or age and let the pipe speak for itself.
SHAPE AND STEM The bowl is a straight hexagon, and the diamond shank continues into a light color stem. The stem is fitted with a metal thread tenon and ends in a fishtail bit. There is no filter in this pipe.
FINISH AND GRAIN The briar has a smooth finish in a natural reddish-brown stain. The grain shows through clearly across the facets and along the shank.
CONDITION Pre-smoked, in good condition.
THE MEASUREMENTS Length 160 mm (6.30 in); bowl height 34 mm (1.34 in); bowl width 40 mm (1.57 in); chamber diameter 20 mm (0.79 in); chamber depth 27 mm (1.06 in); weight 33 g (1.16 oz).
Every estate pipe is cleaned and sanitized before it ships, and we ship worldwide.

This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
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.
Faridunhill shop post, 2026-11-09. 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.
