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 is an estate pipe attributed to Peterson of Dublin, recorded under the firm's shape number 107 and finished in sandblast with a nickel mount at the shank. The sandblast treatment, in which the softer grain of the is blasted away to leave a craggy relief surface, is a longstanding finish in the Peterson catalogue, prized for its light weight in the hand and its tactile character. The nickel band serves both as reinforcement at the stem-shank junction and as a visual signature of the house style, echoing the silver-mounted pipes on which the firm built its reputation. Dating a Peterson depends heavily on its mount. Silver-banded examples carry Dublin assay hallmarks that can fix a year of manufacture with precision; nickel-mounted pipes, by contrast, bear no hallmark, so dating must rest on stamping style, country-of-manufacture wording, and shape catalogue history. The markings recorded here — the K&P initials and the 107 shape number — identify the maker and model but do not by themselves narrow the window of production, as both were in use over long spans of the company's output. The record therefore assigns a deliberately broad bracket, twentieth to early twenty-first century, pending closer examination of the stamping typography against documented Peterson eras. As an archive example, the pipe stands as a representative of Peterson's nickel-mounted sandblast production in a numbered classic shape.

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 of Dublin 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, 2023-04-20. 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.
