PETERSON’S Sherlock Holmes “Professor”

December 26, 2019December 26, 2019

Ireland, 1991

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 Professor. 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 marking is “Peterson’s \ Sherlock Holmes”, “MADE IN THE \ REPUBLIC\ OF IRELAND”, “PETERSON’S \ STERLING SILVER”. The length is 14.2 cm (5.59″), bowl’s height is 5.6 cm (2.2″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 4.6 cm (1.81″) and this pipe weights 71 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The hallmark letter is the most probably capital italic F, so the pipe was made in 1991 (or close to this year).

Ireland, 1972 “While the Premier System stamp was formally announced in our 1945 catalogue, the design itself dates to our original System grading system, where it was known simply as the Second Grade, a higher-tiered System pipe meant to bridge the gap between our entry-level System and Deluxe models. … the Premier System pipe incorporates…

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 Everyone knows that Sherlock Holmes used to smoke a Peterson pipe. And of course everyone knows that Peterson is one of the most popular and traditional Irish brands.

Ireland, 1910-15 This small compact (or better to say – “pocket”) billiard has recently celebrated its century. And not only the stem of a retro design and an unusual bone stinger tells about it. Except the name of the maker and the series, there are no other markings on the pipe, in particular a designation…
