This list is based on the excellent work of notable Stanwell collector, Basil Stevens, who sadly passed away a few years ago. Bas's list first appeared on [https://rebornpipes.com/tag/shape-numbers-and-designers-of-stanwell-pipes/ rebornpipes.com], and appears here on Pipedia in a modified form courtesy of Bas and rebornpipes.com. As new Stanwell pipes have been released, and previously-unknown shapes have been unearthed, additions have been made to Bas's original list. Despite these changes, Bas remains the primary author of the information gathered here. This article is, furthermore, dedicated to his memory, and to the contributions he made to the writing of pipe history.
 


In my experience Bas Stevens is one of the foremost authorities on Stanwell pipes. Whenever I find a shape I need information on or a pipe that I need help identifying the shape or the carver I email Bas and he has the information readily at hand. I picked up this shape listing from him some time ago and it identifies the shape by number and by designer. I found it extremely helpful so I wrote Bas and asked if I could post it here. Bas granted gracious permission and below is what Bas has provided.
