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
GENOD, BURDINE, 202 - the name and line are cut into a warm, smooth bowl, with a G on the black stem. This is an unsmoked straight billiard, distinguished by an oval shank and a vulcanite saddle stem.
The billiard is one of the pipe trade's enduring forms: an upright bowl, a straight shank and a stem that carries the line back toward the smoker. This example gives the familiar outline a flatter transition through its oval shank. At 140 mm long and 37 g, it is a compact pipe, with a 20 mm chamber opening.
THE MARKS - GENOD / BURDINE stamped on the shank - 202 stamped on the shank - G marked on the stem
