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 is a Stanwell pipe from the Danish Design Flame Grain series, carrying the factory shape number 95 and fitted with a 9mm filter system, the bore standard that became widespread in continental European pipe manufacture during the second half of the twentieth century. The 9mm arrangement houses a replaceable charcoal or paper filter within the tenon, and its presence situates the pipe firmly within the filter-oriented market that Danish and German makers served in this era. Stanwell occupies a central place in the history of Danish pipemaking. The Flame Grain treatment, as the name indicates, is a finish chosen to display upward-running striations in the . Dating a Stanwell of this period relies on the interplay of stamping style, logo form, and line nomenclature rather than any explicit factory date code, since Stanwell did not stamp its pipes with year marks. The company's stamps, crown logos, and series names evolved over the decades, and specialists use those changes to place a given pipe within a span of years rather than at a single point. On that basis the source record assigns this example to the 1970s–1990s, an honest bracket consistent with the Danish Design series and the 9mm filter configuration, and it is under that attribution that the pipe is archived here as a documented shape 95 of Stanwell's mature production era.

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, 2024-05-12. 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.
