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 unbranded large smooth bent apple has a rounded briar bowl and a curved black acrylic saddle stem. The warm brown finish reveals grain across the broad sides and along the shank. Its fuller middle and rounded heel give the apple shape its soft outline.
Overhead photographs show the circular chamber opening and smooth rim. Side and underside views record the transition from the bowl into the shank, with a separate view of the removed mouthpiece and fitting. The pipe is presented without a maker attribution.
THE MARKS No stamp is recorded at intake. No maker, model, country or manufacturing date is assigned. No manufacturing date is established for this individual example.
THE STEM AND FITTING The intake records a acrylic saddle stem, 9mm filter fitting and fishtail bit. The photographs document the mouthpiece profile, bit and stem joint. A fitting specification does not promise a supplied filter.
CONDITION Pre-smoked and in excellent condition, as recorded at intake. The chamber, rim, bowl sides, underside and mouthpiece are shown from several angles. Please examine the photographs together to judge the individual finish and signs of handling.
THE MEASUREMENTS - Length: 138 mm (5.43 in) - Bowl height: 47 mm (1.85 in) - Bowl width: 44 mm (1.73 in) - Chamber diameter: 20 mm (0.79 in) - Chamber depth: 42 mm (1.65 in) - Weight: 50 g (1.76 oz)

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. 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.
