PETERSON’S Sherlock Holmes “Baskerville”

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.

This line … debuted in the 1945 catalog in the…

Ireland, 1970-80s Everyone knows that Peterson’s pipes are great smokers! And that Peterson’s Shystem pipes are the greatest. You shouldn’t be confused with the stamping – it’s the same Peterson’s system but there’s nice carving instead of a metallic end cap. Very rare Peterson pipe! The series was produced in 1970-80s.

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…
