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 Of Dublin 'Stripe' line pipe, a rusticated bent Pot shaped as the marque's '01'. The pipe is characterized by a robust, muscular interpretation of the classic Pot form, where the bowl's breadth is emphasized over its height, presenting thick walls and a substantial presence. The quarter-bent, tapered stem with a fishtail mouthpiece provides a counterbalance to the stout bowl and thick shank, maintaining an overall equilibrium in the hand. The finish is a deep rustication, and the pipe is fitted with a nickel band stamped 'Peterson Of Dublin'. The pipe carries only the stem logo and band stamping, with no additional bowl stampings noted.

Honesty pass: statements the source does not support were removed (parts.bowl_material 'briar' removed; parts.stem_style 'tapered' removed; era 'late 20th/early 21st century' -> undetermined).
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 sample this sits in: Faridunhill has recorded 1222 sales of Peterson between 2015–2026 — median $95, most falling between $59 and $145.
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, 2021-02-04. 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.
