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 entry
E.A. Carey Magic Inch is marked on this sandblasted, slightly bent billiard estate pipe. Its brown textured bowl and shank meet a long black mouthpiece, with visible slots near the base. The system name is recorded by the stamp and intake note.
The bowl has a near-upright outline with a rounded lower profile. The textured finish continues along the shank, with a smoother area for the markings. The separated-stem photograph shows the internal fitting. No cooling or smoking-performance claim is inferred from the Magic Inch name.
THE MARKS E.A. Carey; MAGIC INCH; PAT. NO. 3267941. The patent number is quoted as marked, without treating it as the manufacturing date. No manufacturing date is established for this individual example.
THE STEM AND FITTING The intake records a black mouthpiece with a fishtail bit and the Magic Inch fitting shown in the photographs. The photographs document the mouthpiece profile, bit and stem joint. A fitting specification does not promise a supplied filter.
