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 “Watson” (Peterson shape XL17).

The pipe marking is “Peterson \ OF DUBLIN \ SHERLOCK \ HOLMES”, “WATSON” on the stummel, “Peterson’s STERLING SILVER” and silver hallmarks with the italic “W” for 2007 on the collar. The length is 13.0 cm (5.12″), bowl’s height is 5.7 cm (2.24″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.5 cm (1.77″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.7 cm (1.85″) and this pipe weights 74 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 The Irish classics and the subject of a cult worship! This is the “Peterson’s system” invented at the end of the 19th century and which made the company world-wide famous. The pipe is from the early new, “republic” era, made most probably in 1950-60s.

Ireland, 1945-75 Steve Laug published in his blog at rebornpipes a very deep and detailed investigation regarding Shamrock pipes. “There were two Shamrock lines—the Rogers Import U.S.-only line with the nickel band, and the Peterson unmounted line with a white “S” stamped on the mouthpiece. This line … debuted in the 1945 catalog in the…

Ireland, 1940s Speaking shortly, escapism is a definition for the escape from reality. More widely this is an aspiration of the personality to “remove themselves from the rigors of daily life”, caused by some stressful factors. Any vigorous activity (career, art, sport, fashion, role-playing games, sex, religion etc.) can become the way of escapism. Moreover…

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, 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.
