I got this pipe on ebay with only a few blurry photos to go by and the title of "Mystery Stanwell", the photos were of a bulldog shaped pipe and I thought what the hell its only $6... Well to my surprise, this showed up at my door!

As you can see it isn't a bulldog at all! I can't tell what the name of the Stanwell is but it looks to be "Buffalo" with the numbers 13 stamped on it also. The base says Stanwell "Buffalo" 13 Made in Denmark.

Well, you can let him know he sent you the wrong pipe or keep it. Can you post a copy of the add to see if it is a mistake or just a poor picture.

If you read the description of the item, he is describing the pipe he sent me... I believe he just put the wrong picture of the pipe up!
Oh and I guess the picture weren't very blurry either! oh well, I have a crappy memory! I really like the pipe I got much better than the pictured pipe!

Yep nothing like the pic. I checked his other auctions and none posted to match the one you have but it has been a few days.

Definitely a different pipe than the one you received. I wish I could help you out aside from my obvious objective comment, lol.

Well I am going to email the seller just in case and see what he says about the pipe...
I really like this pipe so I hope it was just a mistake with the picture and not the pipe, but I will send it back if I must... :(

I also like this pipe. I haven't seen Stanwells with different colored wood inserts like that. I think this one could be worth a whole lot more than 13 bucks. I hope you get to keep it. :)
