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 Peterson Kildare exemplifies the Irish maker's approach to the classic bent Apple shape, designated as model 03S. The pipe features a smooth briar finish with a walnut-colored contrast stain that accentuates the natural grain pattern, a characteristic treatment for the Kildare series. Unlike Peterson's Aran line which uses nickel accents, the Kildare is distinguished by its sterling silver band adornment. The pipe employs Peterson's signature P-lip mouthpiece on a bent stem and incorporates a 9mm filter system. The bent Apple shape combines a rounded, compact bowl with a gentle curve in the shank, creating a balanced smoking instrument that sits comfortably in hand. Dating is based on the estate designation and the continued production of the Kildare line through the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with stampings confirming the model as a Peterson Kildare 03S.

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, 2021-05-08. 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.
