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 Henryk Worobiec pipe represents the contemporary Polish handmade tradition, bearing the maker's stamp and the shape number 150. The pipe is crafted as a nosewarmer, a compact form designed for practical smoking with a shorter overall length that allows comfortable clenching and portability. The smooth bowl showcases the wood's natural grain patterns without heavy stain or texturing, highlighting the maker's selection of quality . The pipe's construction follows European handmade conventions with attention to proportion and finish. The stampings identify it as a product of Polish craftsmanship, with the numerical designation indicating its place within the maker's shape chart. As an unsmoked example, it preserves the maker's original intent in both form and finish, representing a complete and unaltered specimen of Worobiec's work.

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 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, 2020-04-22. 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. 4 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.
