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 Peterson Limerick (304) represents a classic Irish pipe shape characterized by its distinctive bent design with a forward-canted bowl and elegant curvature. This particular example features Peterson's signature P-Lip mouthpiece, a design that directs smoke upward toward the palate rather than directly at the tongue. The pipe exhibits the traditional Peterson craftsmanship with smooth construction and the model number 304 stamped on the shank, identifying it as part of the Limerick line. The unsmoked condition indicates this pipe has been preserved in its original state without use. Peterson's estate designation suggests previous ownership while the unsmoked status confirms it remains in factory-fresh condition. The combination of the Limerick shape with the P-Lip system represents a quintessential Peterson smoking experience, balancing comfortable handling with the brand's unique approach to smoke delivery.

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 1222 sales of Peterson between 2015–2026 — median $95, most falling between $59 and $145.
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, 2021-10-12. 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. 6 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.
