Ireland, 2008

A pipe from the luxury 7-pipes series initiated by Peterson’s in 1987 to honour Sir Arthur Conan Doyle characters: Sherlock Holmes Original, Watson, Squire, Professor, Deerstalker, Baskerville and Baker Street. Soon after the “Original” series success an additional “The Return of Sherlock Holmes” collection was launched with the 7 additional shapes: The Mycroft, Hudson, Strand, Rathbone, Lestrade, Hansom, and the Milverton. So, it seems Peterson’s made their adorers quite busy for the next century!

The pipe marking is “Peterson \ OF DUBLIN \ SHERLOCK \ HOLMES”, “BAKER STREET”. The length is 14.4 cm (5.67″), bowl’s height is 5.4 cm (2.12″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.2 cm (1.65″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.2 cm (1.65″) and this pipe weights 52 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, 9 mm filter.
