In addition to the freehand shapes produced by Poul Hansen, Stanwell would later sell freehand-style pipes through the 'Chess' line, whose grading ran from Rook (lowest) to King (highest). The production of these pipes was originally overseen by Johann Larsen, before the task was handed over to [[Poul Winslow]]. | In addition to the freehand shapes produced by Poul Hansen, Stanwell would later sell freehand-style pipes through the 'Chess' line, whose grading ran from Rook (lowest) to King (highest).

=== Churchwarden pipes === | |||
Originally (early 1950s), Stanwell churchwarden pipes had separate shape codes, such as the shape 21(a). | |||
[[File:Stanwell 848H.png|thumb|A sandblasted, half-sized (or demi-) churchwarden version of the shape 48, giving it the shape code 848H. Image courtesy Tony LaSala of Mr Stanwell Pipes.]] | |||
In the 1960s and 1970s, some churchwarden pipes were redesigned using the stummel designs of existing shapes, such as the 30, with a letter added after the shape code designating whether the pipe was a demi-warden (H) or a full-sized churchwarden (L). Confusingly, other 1960s churchwardens had their own shape codes, with no extra letter appended, such as the 15(a). | |||
At some point in the 1980s, Stanwell introduced the first '''H. C. Andersen''' pipe (cutty shape, full churchwarden stem, unnumbered), effectively replacing the previous churchwarden models. These earlier churchwardens are not present in any of the 1980s catalogs. | |||
in the early 1990s, Stanwell partnered with [[Karl Erik]] to design a range of '''H. C. Andersen''' pipes, which were numbered (though not following from existing shape numbering conventions), and which included two stems (full churchwarden and regular). These will be discussed below. | |||

A few of Stanwell's post-1948 catalog shapes have not been designated by numbers, but instead by names. Some of these pipes have been reissues of popular shapes with a few minor adjustments, while some have been original shapes, as with the Hans Christian Andersen line. Here they are listed alphabetically, along with corresponding shape numbers in the standard catalog, where applicable. | A few of Stanwell's post-1948 catalog shapes have not been designated by numbers, but instead by names.
