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 bent Dublin from the Campione line of Lorenzo, the Italian pipe house whose factory production made it one of the more widely distributed names in twentieth-century Italian pipemaking. Lorenzo operated on a scale comparable to the larger continental workshops, issuing pipes across numerous named series aimed at the everyday smoker, and the Campione designation belongs to this family of factory lines. The workshop's output helped carry the Italian smooth-finish tradition to a broad international market.
The pipe presents the Dublin form in its bent configuration. The Dublin is among the oldest recognised chart shapes: a bowl whose walls taper outward from heel to rim, giving the chamber a conical interior and the profile a distinctive forward lean. Rendered here with a smooth finish and a bent shank-and-stem line, the shape gains a compact, hand-friendly posture that the straight Dublin lacks, while the tapering chamber concentrates the tobacco toward the heel in the manner characteristic of the form. The example carries the maker's shape number 8812, the factory's internal designation for this configuration within the line.
The pipe is built around a 9mm filter system, the bore standard that became ubiquitous in continental European pipemaking during the postwar decades and remains the dominant filter format in the German and Italian markets. Accommodation for the 9mm charcoal filter places the piece firmly within that continental filter-pipe tradition.
Dating rests on the owner's identification of the piece as an Italian estate pipe together with the line name and shape number. Lorenzo, like most Italian factory producers, employed no systematic date coding on its pipes, so nomenclature alone cannot fix a year of manufacture. The record therefore carries an honest bracket of undetermined era, with the 9mm system and the Campione line name situating it broadly within the firm's modern filter-pipe production.

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 212 sales of Lorenzo between 2016–2026 — median $44, most falling between $25 and $70.
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, 2023-05-15. 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. 9 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.
