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.
The entry
WOUTERS over LIEGE, with a small star beside it, and the number 3029: a reddish bulldog stamped with LIEGE, the Belgian city.
This is a reddish smooth straight bulldog with a diamond shank, a light-colored Bakelite stem, a metal tenon and a cooler stinger, and a fishtail bit. There is no filter. It is a pre-smoked estate pipe in good condition.
THE MARKS - WOUTERS - LIEGE, with a small star mark - 3029
No maker history or date is given for this pipe.
THE SHAPE A bulldog is a compact, strong shape: the bowl narrows toward the rim, a ring is cut around its widest part, and the shank is diamond-shaped, with flat faces that meet at sharp edges. This pipe has that diamond shank and two cut lines circling the bowl, under a reddish stain on the smooth briar. As noted when the pipe came in, it has a metal tenon with a cooler stinger, a metal tube that reaches into the shank; one photograph shows the stem out with the stinger in place.
