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 entry documents a grouped announcement of smoking pipes attributed collectively to three of the great European factory houses: Peterson, Stanwell, and Savinelli. The source names the makers as a batch rather than describing any single pipe, and the record accordingly stands as an index point for the grouping itself. The three houses named represent distinct national traditions in factory pipemaking. Dating individual examples from any of these houses proceeds from stamped nomenclature and physical detail rather than from brand name alone. Peterson pipes carrying hallmarked sterling bands can be dated precisely from Dublin assay marks, while country-of-origin stamps distinguish broader production eras; Stanwell attribution relies on logo and stamping variations across its Danish production; Savinelli examples are read through shape numbers, line names, and logo forms. Because the present grouping is documented only at the level of the three brand names, the record brackets it broadly within twentieth-to-twenty-first-century factory production, an honest boundary that future examination of individual stampings could narrow considerably.

This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
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, 2024-11-17. 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. 10 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.
