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 Peterson '03' bent Apple from the Racing Green line, an unsmoked estate pipe. It is characterized by the robust, muscular Peterson aesthetic, featuring an extra-stout shank and a hearty transition from shank to bowl. The bowl itself departs from the marque's typical tubular style, adopting the rounded, plump form of a classic Apple shape. This rounded plumpness integrates seamlessly with the stout shank, creating a tight-knit, versatile composition. The pipe is finished with a silver band and is fitted with a fishtail stem. The shape is one of Peterson's most well-known and charming designs, noted for its traditional appeal blended with the brand's recognizable personality.

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, 2021-04-10. 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.
