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 Jethro pipe represents the Cavalier shape, designated by the model number 95, a design characterized by its distinctive combination of a traditional bowl form with an extended shank and separate moisture reservoir chamber below the main bowl. The pipe is crafted from Blakemar briar, finished in a smooth stain that reveals the wood grain. Stampings on the pipe include the brand name, shape number, 'Cavalier' designation, country of origin, and a secondary number '053' which may indicate a finish or grading code. The Cavalier configuration typically features a two-part construction with a threaded or push-fit connection between the upper bowl assembly and the lower reservoir. Dating of this example relies on its estate designation and the stamping style, though Jethro pipes lack specific factory dating codes that would allow precise year identification. The pipe's English manufacture and classic Cavalier form place it within the broader tradition of British pipe making.

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, 2022-04-27. 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. 6 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.
