An Ultra-Rare Sixten Ivarsson Evening Pipe with Full Patent Registry Pedigree
For collectors who prize the absolute zenith of mid-century Danish minimalism, this vintage Stanwell "Silhouette" is a jaw-dropping rarity. Hailing from Stanwell's legendary early patent era—proudly stamped with the coveted Regd.No. 969-48—this shape 67 execution represents a flawless marriage of high-fashion pocket portability and elite Danish engineering.
The Architecture & Ivarsson Silhouette
Hand-conceptualized by design patriarch Sixten Ivarsson, Shape 67 is a brilliant, aerodynamically flattened Oval Billiard (frequently referred to as an "Opera" or vest-pocket style). The bowl walls are smoothly compressed along the flanks, allowing the pipe to slide completely flat into a formal vest or tailored jacket pocket without creating an unsightly bulge.
As part of the prestigious, early-era Silhouette series, the rim is perfectly flat, crisp, and immaculate, transition down into the sleek, flowing oval shank.
Curation Notes:
Condition: Outstanding, highly preserved vintage estate condition. The briar body is exceptionally clean, completely free of deep dings or heat fissures, and retains its original deep satin-dress finish.
Stem & Comfort: Fitted with its original, flawless jet-black vulcanite stem. The button is razor-sharp, and the svelte saddle taper provides a featherweight clench for formal hands-free enjoyment.
Nomenclature & Provenance: Stamped with immaculate crispness along the compressed under-shank:
Left flank features the iconic early STANWELL over REGD. NO. 969-48 over SILHOUETTE.
Right flank is stamped with the classic Ivarsson catalog shape code: 67.
Underside carries the crisp historical benchmark: MADE IN DENMARK.
Since everyone has their own preferred methods to clean and sterilise internals of the shank and stem, we have intentionally not done this.
