Ireland, 1940s
A “pre republic” era collectable Peterson pipe made most likely between 1945 and 1949 when the manufacturer returned old stamping “MADE IN IRELAND” on pipes. Excellent, capacious Irish pot!
The pipe markings are “PETERSON \ DE LUXE”, “N/L”, “MADE IN \ IRELAND”, “606”. The length is 15.5 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.4 cm. External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm, internal diameter is 2.2 cm. The depth is 3.5 cm and this pipe weights 36 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat. The button was slightly corrected, you may see the repair tracks under a bright light.
