Stanwell Hans Christian Andersen: 2005 Bicentennial Limited Edition - New Old Stock
Number 359 of Only 384 Produced Worldwide — Complete Presentation Box Set
Released in 2005 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Denmark's legendary author, this is not a standard production HCA pipe. It is a strictly limited, numbered masterwork crafted from Stanwell's finest archived plateau briarwood. Complete with its original solid wood presentation box, leather pouch, and hand-signed factory certificate of authenticity, this pristine New Old Stock example represents the absolute pinnacle of modern Danish pipe history.
The Architecture & Sterling Appointments Fashioned as an elegant, sweeping Half Bent Dublin, the stummel is dressed in a vibrant contrast stain that beautifully highlights dense ribbons of flame grain along the flanks. The pipe is uniquely appointed with dual solid sterling silver accents: a pristine, flush-mounted silver rim cap and a heavy sterling shank band. The band is meticulously hand-engraved with the individual serial number 359/384.
The Dual-Stem Interlocking System True to the Hans Christian Andersen design ethos, this configuration includes two separate, factory-fresh acrylic stems adorned with the iconic crowned Stanwell "S" logo
The Standard Stem: A short, elegant saddle bit perfect for active, hands-free smoking.
The Churchwarden Stem: An elongated, slender reading stem designed for long, meditative evening sessions.
Curation Notes:
Condition: 100% Mint / New Old Stock. Unsmoked, and flawless. The chamber is entirely factory-fresh, and the sterling silver elements retain their brilliant mirror finish with zero tarnishing or pocket wear.
Engineering: Configured for a 9mm filter, offering an exceptionally cool, dry, and refined smoke when paired with the expansive briar walls.
Nomenclature: Crisp and deep on the under-shank: STANWELL over HANS CHRISTIAN over ANDERSEN. Stamped 359/384 directly onto the accompanying sterling band.
Full Provenance Kit: Includes the original satin-lined mahogany presentation case featuring Andersen's famous silhouette, the original embossed leather storage pouch, and the official serialised certificate signed by Stanwell Managing Director Jørgen Grundtvig.
