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 documents a Stanwell of the Revival series, catalogued under the factory's shape number 168 and executed in the partially sandblasted treatment — a finish in which portions of the stummel are blasted to raise the 's grain in relief while adjoining surfaces are left smooth, producing a deliberate contrast of texture within a single bowl. The pipe is fitted with a 9mm filter system, the bore standard that dominates the Continental European market and identifies the airway as sized to accept a charcoal filter or an adaptor when smoked open. Stanwell occupies a central place in the history of Danish pipemaking. Its numbered shape catalogue, of which 168 is an entry, allowed those designs to be reproduced consistently across the company's many finish lines — the Revival among them, each line pairing the common shape chart with its own surface treatment and stamping. Dating a Stanwell is a matter of nomenclature rather than code: the factory has never applied a date stamp, so era attribution rests on the style of the logo, the country-of-origin stamp, and the period in which a given line name appeared in the catalogue. It entered the archive as a smoked estate example.

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 685 sales of Stanwell between 2016–2026 — median $69, most falling between $47 and $125.
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, 2023-06-29. 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. 8 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.
