If the logo on the stem is a crowned S, then it's almost certainly a Stanwell.
Which model I couldn't say. Supposedly they've been around since 1942, so the
number of different models could be high. Currently they make 115,000 pipes a year.

the stanwell logo is there. i could see it on the enlarged pics on ebay.
was really looking for some more beater-knocker pipes when i came across this one.
just hope it doesnt smell like ty-d-bowl
would like to know if anybody recognises the model and a ballpark cost when it was new.
1-q and ty-d-bowl, just my luck...

Looks like a nice shape, no clue about the model. I'd call it a bent acorn, looks super comfortable for clenching.
I'd say if you got it for $50 or less, its a deal.
If you paid more for it, you're probably fine too.
Unless the dark color around the top of the bowl is from a barroom toilet..... better clean it good, just in case !

Yep, it's a Stanwell and appears it may be a bit older. How old, I'm not sure. Do a good alcohol cleanup and you should have a very good smoking pipe.
Does it have a serial number on it? If so, it was made prior to 1960. Clean it up, and it will serve you well. Stanwells are great finds!
