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.

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.

Denmark, 1970 Fantastic finding! An unsmoked freehand (“free form”) Pipe-Dan pipe made in 1970! The Pipe-Dan (Pibe-Dan) shop was opened in 1943 by H. Dan-Christensen and until 1991 there were offered pipes from leading Danish carvers such as Hans Hartmann, Gert Holbek, Sven Knudsen, Tom Eltang, Arne Nygaard, P. Holtorp, Poul Hansen, and Ph. Vigen….

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…

PETERSON’S System Prefect 314
May 4, 2019May 4, 2019
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…

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!

OXFORD De Luxe unsmoked

England This unsmoked pipe became a subject of a special investigation. Many more and less known manufacturers applied the “Oxford” stamping on their pipes: Wilczak & Colwell mention S. MC Lardy, Sasieni, J. Redman, Hall & Fitzgerald, Carrington, Orlik and even GBD! Pipephil (the greatest and highly respected pipe expert) places Oxford on the Hardcastle’s…
