PETERSON’S Sherlock Holmes “Baskerville”

December 1, 2018December 21, 2018

Ireland, 1989

A 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 🙂

Despite the shape wasn’t printed on the pipe this is the Baskerville. You may see it at the Petersons’ site: the same shape and almost the same dimensions. One of the most stylish “Sherlock Holmes” pipes!

The pipe markings are “Peterson’s \ Sherlock Holmes”, “MADE IN THE \ REPUBLIC \ OF IRELAND”. The length is 12.2 cm (4.8″), bowl’s height is 5.4 cm (2.12″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.54″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.3 cm (1.69″) and this pipe weights 63 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

Ireland A pleasant lightly smoked Peterson pipe from the new (republic) era. The pipe was smoked only a few times and didn’t required too much effort for restoration and refreshing. Good addition to any collection!

England, 1927 An illustrative example how the consumer preferences changes over decades. Todays smokers are usually interested in pipes marked “large”, “extra large”, “incredibly large” and so on and so forth.

England, 1976-81 It would be very much boring if everything was unambiguous and transparent with pipes origin history. But, fortunately, not all producers behaved as Dunhill with their obligatory nearly hundred years stamped year suffixes (however, Dunhill was not always pedantic too :-)). Here is, for example, a very rare (some collectors write “extremely rare”)…
