Just unpacked the last eighty pipes from my extensive collection as I scale back for retirement. Look what was in the box.. A very nice Peterson's Deluxe, Smooth Straight Canadian Estate Briar Pipe with beautiful cross grain and Birdseye grain.

Peterson pipes generally need no introduction, but just in case you're unfamiliar: in 1876, a Latvian named Charles Peterson immigrated to Ireland and was hired making pipes in a workshop owned by Frederick and George Kapp. After rising through the ranks to become head craftsman, Peterson bought into the Kapp's business, which was renamed, Kapp & Peterson (K&P).

During this time, Peterson himself applied for several patents for pipe designs, including the world-famous Peterson's System. Since then, Peterson has become one of the most recognizable names in pipe smoking and continues to produce high quality pipes from their headquarters in Dublin. While I can't pinpoint exactly when this pipe was made, it looks to be an older Peterson, as the'Deluxe' name in the modern Peterson catalog is a line of pipes with silver bands, which this does not have. A pipe doesn't necessarily need silver to shine, though. This one must have been made from an excellent block of briar, as much of the stummel positively glows with natural, bird's-eye grain and cross-grain patterns, including the bowl exterior.

This must be why Peterson decided to give the pipe a simple, light brown stain that would not smother the grain patterns underneath. Note: this Peterson has an oval Canadian P-lip stem.

Weight: 1.17 oz / 34 gr. Be sure to check out my other fine and rare pipes, and lighters etc. From a fifty year collection of an avid pipe collector - now scaling back for retirement from a collection of around 500 pieces to a seven day rotation. Lighters, Smoker's Ephemera and Incredible pipes of finest makers from England, Ireland, Italy, Scandinavia, and the USA. Almost all are around 25 years old, some 50, 70, or in a couple of cases, 100 years old.
