Pre-Republic Peterson full bent pipe ca. 1920 - BEAUTY Made in Ireland "Peterson's System 0" appears UNSMOKED Check it out - a Made in Ireland, silver/nickel capped, Pre-Republic K&P Peterson pipe that appears to be unsmoked! This is a very lovely Peterson's System 0 full-bent Shape 312 pipe . Take a look at the pictures - they tell the story . If you're a collector of Pre-Republic Petes, then this is a great one for your collection. This pipe appears to have never been smoked ( I bought it that way, and could never bring myself to do it ), but the chamber does look like it's been pre-charred or something. I can still see the small indentation marks inside the bowl w is was presumably clamped during production turning a the Dublin factory. The rest of the smoking passageways are clean, including the fames Peterson's System "well" that is designed to catch any moisture/condensation/dottle that often occurs in a bent pipe. The vulcanite bit is as new, with no evidence of use whatsoever. From the research I've done in dating Peterson Pipes , all the evidence of the markings point to a production of 1915-1920 or so. The nomenclature on the bowl has the fancy scrolled-top forktailed "P" in "Peterson's System 0" on one side, and is stamped with a block letter "MADE IN IRELAND" on the back side, and "312" on the other side. The nickel-silver cap over the shank is not hallmarked, but is and is stamped "K&P" over Peterson over Dublin. The cross-cut ancient briar bowl contains a nice mix of grain and lots of birdseye, for a very appealing look, and a great "hand-feel".Indeed, this one has a GREAT look to it: very classic, very stately, very "Peterson" , especially if you are a fan of the Sherlock Holmes look. If I didn't already have way too many briars in my collection already, I'd be keeping this one. 's your chance to break in a Pre-Republic Pete - a rare opportunity indeed. Dimensions are: Length: 6.0" Bowl height: 2Diameter Outside 1 -1/8", Inside approx. 3/4" Bowl Depth: 1-3/4" Nomenclature: Peterson's System 0, MADE IN IRELAND, 312Condition: Beautiful ancient dark briar, appears unsmoked, vulcanite bit is unused.

Created by eBay Blackthorne ver. 3.1.66.0 A thoughtful ebayer (thank you, Matt) emailed me regarding the date that I have attributed to this pipe. Since dating Petersons can be difficult and inexact (unlike 90% of the Dunhills made), an article he referenced is one of the very pages that I used in determining the vintage of this pipe, as it seemed the most thorough. It's written by Mike Leverette, and it's excellent: ( /pipes/english/a_peterson_dating_guide_a_rule_1.html ) Anyways, my pipe is stamped 'MADE IN IRELAND' on the bottom... read more
