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.
A smooth straight billiard by Loewe & Co. of London, in a shiny reddish finish, with a vulcanite saddle stem and a fishtail bit. The pipe has been smoked before and is in very good condition.
THE FACTS - Maker: Loewe & Co., London - Shape: straight billiard - Finish: smooth, shiny reddish - Stem: vulcanite saddle stem, fishtail bit - Filter: none - Stamps: Loewe London W. / L&Co Standard / L&Co on the stem - Condition: pre-smoked, very good condition
THE MAKER Loewe & Co. was founded in 1856 in the Haymarket, London. In 1920 the firm was bought by Civic, but its quality and its stamps stayed the same until 1964. From 1964 the series names grew, and the Standard series was added then.
DATING Michael Lankton's Loewe dating guide places the Standard series from about 1964 to about 1978. This pipe carries the Standard stamp, so it most likely dates from that period.
Measured: Length 138 mm (5.43 in); Bowl height 43 mm (1.69 in); Bowl width 33 mm (1.30 in); Chamber diameter 20 mm (0.79 in); Chamber depth 38 mm (1.50 in); Weight 27 g (0.95 oz).
Please see the photos for the condition. Worldwide shipping and professional sanitation on every estate pipe.

This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
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.
Faridunhill shop post, 2026-11-09. 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. 13 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.
