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 DANMORE Handmade pipe from Denmark, stamped with shape number 559 and executed as a bent apple. The apple is one of the classic rounded bowl forms of the pipe repertoire, distinguished from the billiard by its fuller, more spherical bowl profile; in its bent configuration the shank and stem curve downward, shifting the bowl forward of the hand and lowering the pipe's carry in the jaw. The example wears a combination finish described as semi sandblast and smooth, a treatment in which portions of the stummel are blasted to raise the grain in relief while other surfaces are left polished — a pairing frequently encountered in Danish production, where partial blasting was used both decoratively and to work around areas of mixed grain. The pipe is drilled for a 9mm filter, the standard disposable charcoal filter format that dominates the Continental European market. The presence of a 9mm system is itself a useful classifying detail: it places the pipe firmly within the Continental smoking tradition, where filtered airways are the norm, in contrast to the unfiltered convention of the British and American markets. The 'Handmade' stamp signals hand-finishing within that tradition, while the three-digit shape number indicates production against a defined shape chart rather than one-off freehand work.

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 18 sales of DANMORE between 2018–2024 — median $40, most falling between $26 and $59.
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, 2023-04-28. 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.
