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 is a straight paneled billiard from the Dannemann marque, catalogued under the Madrigal line and finished smooth. The paneled billiard is a long-established variation on the most universal of pipe shapes: the classic billiard's cylindrical bowl is cut with flat facets around its circumference, producing a geometry of planes and edges in place of the usual rounded profile. The panels lighten the hand-feel of the bowl, catch light differently across each face, and demand disciplined shaping, since any wandering of a facet is immediately visible. In its straight configuration, the shank and stem continue in a single line from the bowl, giving the pipe the balanced, upright posture that has made the billiard family the benchmark against which other shapes are measured. The smooth finish leaves the surface unblasted and uncarved, presenting the material plainly across each panel. Dating such branded pipes is inherently approximate, because lines of this kind were not marked with factory date codes in the manner of a few well-documented English houses; attribution therefore rests on the brand history and on the style of any nomenclature present. On the evidence available, the honest conclusion is a broad twentieth-century bracket, with the pipe's chief archival value lying in its documentation of the paneled billiard form as executed under the Dannemann Madrigal name.

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

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 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, 2022-11-07. 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. 7 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.
