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.

It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
This Charles Fairmorn pipe is a smooth-finished straight volcano, designated by the shape number 702. The volcano shape is characterised by a broad, flared bowl that tapers upward from a narrower base, creating a silhouette reminiscent of its geological namesake. This example presents a classic execution with a straight stem aligning with the bowl's vertical axis. The exhibits a smooth finish, allowing the grain to serve as the primary visual texture. The stampings identify the brand and model number. As an estate pipe from the English Estates designation, it represents a previously owned example of the brand's work. Without specific factory date codes or corroborated historical markers in the record, its period of manufacture remains broadly attributed to the wider era of Charles Fairmorn production.
