PETERSON Sherlock Holmes Original

Ireland, 2007

Yet another one 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 ?

This time it’s the “ORIGINAL” (Peterson shape XL11).

The pipe marking is “Peterson \ OF DUBLIN \ SHERLOCK \ HOLMES”, “ORIGINAL” on the stummel, “Peterson’s STERLING SILVER” and silver hallmarks with the italic “W” for 2007 on the collar. The length is 13.8 cm (5.43″), bowl’s height is 5.7 cm (2.24″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.0 cm (1.57″), internal diameter is 2.2 cm (0.87″). The depth is 4.3 cm (1.69″) and this pipe weights 67 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, 9 mm filter. The bowl surface has a few not very noticeable scratched and identations, but we’ve decided to keep the unique original finish of this beautyful pipe.

Ireland Fatastic and absolutely refined bent pipe from Petersons. Perhaps we don’t need to perform any detailed explanations – the pipe speaks for itself!

England, 1916 Many and many glorious English brands were integrated sooner or later by Cadogan investments. Some companies were acquired in the late XX century, and to find a pre-Cadogan artefacts of some others manufacturers we have to turn back in time very deeply.

Ireland, 1910-15 Despite its previous owner claimed that the pipe comes from the Pre-Patent times, we would politely disagree. The pipe is de facto a “Peterson system”. The innovation of the Peterson’s System pipes and the beginning of the Peterson’s patent period happened almost simultaneously close to 1875. Therefore it’s difficult to imagine a “pre…

Ireland, 1921 Unfortunately, the year mark on the silver collar is a little weak, but a thorough analysis and comparison with the hallmark charts suggest that this should be the title letter F, corresponding to 1921. Also, pay attention to the absence of the COM stamp (‘Country of Manufacture’). According to Pipedia, this is characteristic…
