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 Cambridge De Luxe Bruyere Extra presents as a bent Pot shape executed in the London Style, characterized by its smooth finish. The pipe follows the classic Pot form with a broad, shallow bowl and a distinct forward cant, mounted with a bent stem that complements the overall curvature. The nomenclature includes both 'De Luxe' and 'Bruyere Extra' designations, suggesting a higher grade within The Cambridge brand's hierarchy. The stamping 'London Style' indicates a particular aesthetic approach within the maker's catalog. The pipe's construction reflects traditional English pipe-making principles, with attention to grain orientation and proportion typical of the style.

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 130 sales of The Cambridge between 2015–2026 — median $59, most falling between $13 and $155.
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, 2020-03-19. 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. 4 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.
