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, 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 An extra large and extremely convincing Peterson’s pipe: the capacious chamber, the huge stem, the biggest filter (9 mm). Even the tickest novel will be for you just “a problem for three pipes” with such a smoker.

Ireland The Irish classics and the subject of a cult worship! This is the “Peterson’s system” invented at the end of 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.

PETERSON’S Kildare 69

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…
