PETERSON’S Dunmore 73 unsmoked

October 18, 2017December 26, 2018

Ireland, 1970-80s

The Dunmore series was produced in 1970-80s and represents in fact the same highly popular Peterson’s System design. But the shank is decorated with a nice carving instead of an nickel or a silver endcap. Now such Dunmore pipes are a rarity and cause much more collectors’ interest than “standard” Peterson’s Standard devices. Especially if it’s an unsmoked Dunmore with the original box and sleeve!

The pipe markings are “Peterson’s \ “DUNMORE””, MADE IN THE \ REPUBLIC OF \ IRELAND”, “73”. The length is 12.7 cm (5″), bowl’s height is 4.6 cm (1.81″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.1 cm (1.22″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 4.0 cm (1.57″) and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The pipe comes with the original box and sleeve, of course they have visible signs of storage over many decades.

PETERSON’S System Prefect 314

Ireland We didn’t find any information on the Peterson Prefect series, but generally the pipe is a well known and reasonably respected Peterson Systems pipe of the 314 shape. The stem is a nicely made replacement one, it has a traditional P-Lip shape but the drilling is coming to the end of the button unlike…

PETERSON’S Dublin 2

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…

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!

England, 1960s A great example of the Charatan’s production in 1970-s at Prescott Str. factory! The pipe looks really like a work of art: slightly asymmetric panelled bowl is skilfully combined with an almost the stright grain of briar. It sits in hand very warmly, reliably and trustfully indeed like many free hands can’t sit. Thus no need…

England We suspect that GBD was a pipe maker with the best protection against an industrial espionage. Hundreds of shapes (changed every year), production on both sides of the Channel, lack of accurate dating of pipes could dement any James Bond who attempted to steal even a trifling secret.

Ireland, 2010 In fact Peterson’s Mark Twain series launched firstly in 1981 was inspired by two great smokers: personally Mr. Samuel Clemens known as a dedicated admirer of Peterson pipes (more precisely: Charles Peterson Patent pipes) and Mr. Huck Finn’ who smoked corncob pipes. Therefore the set traditionally consist of two pipes: one Peterson System…
