PETERSON’S Kildare 69

September 22, 2020September 22, 2020

Ireland, 1950-80s

According to many experts Kildare series was launched yet in the 1950s and was being produced until 1990s. The 69 shape is perhaps the most attractive and elegant implementation of the bent pipe concept. So the pipe is still a good old “Irish Peterson” made in Dublin unlike todays “Italian Petersons” – both the experts and the pipe quality and condition prove that. Good finding for a collection!

The pipe marking is “Peterson’s \ “KILDARE””, “MADE IN THE \ REPUBLIC \ OF IRELAND”, “69”. The length is 13.7 cm (5.39″), bowl’s height is 4.7 cm (1.85″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.5 cm (1.38″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.7 cm (1.46″) and this pipe weights 38 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

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…
