Ireland, 1970-80s Everyone knows that Peterson’s pipes are great smokers! And that Peterson’s Shystem pipes are the greatest. You shouldn’t be confused with the stamping – it’s the same Peterson’s system but there’s nice carving instead of a metallic end cap. Very rare Peterson pipe! The series was produced in 1970-80s.
