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 Danmore smooth-finished bent Dublin of brandy-influenced proportion, an estate pipe of Danish origin fitted with a 9mm filter system. The form combines two traditions: the Dublin, one of the oldest codified pipe shapes, defined by a bowl whose walls flare outward from a narrower base to a wider rim; and the brandy, whose rounded, snifter-like swell softens the Dublin's angular taper into a fuller, more voluminous chamber. Rendered here with a bent stem, the composition sits low in the hand, a posture long favoured in Danish work, where comfort and organic line took precedence over the strict geometry of the classic English catalogue shapes.
Danmore belongs to the broad field of Danish production pipes that circulated widely in the later twentieth century, a period when Denmark's reputation in pipe making — built by celebrated carvers and sustained by numerous factory workshops — made 'Danish' itself a selling point stamped alongside brand names. The 9mm filter bore is a telling construction detail: this standard, dominant in the German-speaking and Scandinavian markets, indicates a pipe built for the Continental European trade, where filtered smoking was and remains the norm.
Dating rests on the brand stamping alone. Danmore, like most Danish factory marques, employed no date-coding system, so no stamp on the pipe translates to a year of manufacture. The 9mm system and the Danish estate designation situate the piece within the broad continuum of postwar Continental production, but the record supports no narrower claim, and the era is therefore left formally undetermined. The pipe stands in the archive as a representative example of the Danish factory bent Dublin in its filtered, export-market configuration — a shape study rather than a dated artefact.

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 18 sales of Danmore between 2018–2024 — median $40, most falling between $26 and $59.
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, 2024-05-07. 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.
