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 Peterson pipe from the Jekyll & Hyde line, recorded in the maker's shape 05 and fitted with a fishtail mouthpiece. The Jekyll & Hyde designation belongs to Peterson's modern era of themed series, its name drawn from Robert Louis Stevenson's novella and reflecting the line's deliberately dual character, in which contrasting surface treatments are juxtaposed on a single stummel. The shape number 05 places the pipe within Peterson's long-established numbered shape chart, the system by which the factory has catalogued its bowl and stem profiles across generations of production. Dating a Peterson presents a particular challenge for the archivist: unlike some makers, Peterson has never employed a systematic factory date code on its , and precise dating ordinarily depends on hallmarked sterling mounts, stamping typography, or the documented lifespan of a given line. In this instance, the attribution rests on the owner's identification of the line and shape, and the Jekyll & Hyde series itself belongs to the company's modern catalogue rather than its early or mid-century output. The pipe entered the record as an Irish estate piece, and it is preserved here as a documented example of Peterson's themed contemporary lines and of the fishtail alternative to the firm's signature P-Lip.

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 1222 sales of Peterson between 2015–2026 — median $95, most falling between $59 and $145.
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, 2024-03-19. 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.
