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 all of Charles Peterson’s patented System engineering, elevated through the use of select-quality bowls and fitments of semi-precious metals. Perfect for the Peterson enthusiast looking to upgrade their collection of System pipes” (c) Peterson site.

A lightly smoked Peterson’s System Premier 317 pipe from 1972. Amazing condition for the age!

The pipe marking is “PETERSON’S \ SYSTEM \ PREMIER”, “MADE IN THE \ REPUBLIC \ OF IRELAND \ 317”. The length is 12.0 cm (4.72″), bowl’s height is 4.0 cm (1.57″).

Except the name of the maker and the series, there are no other markings on the pipe, in particular a designation…

England, 1910 An extraordinary piece of the English pipe making history. Masta patent is mostly known as the company aquired by Dunhill in 1946 and incorporated to Parker-Hardcastle in 1967. As states pipedia, the brand no longer appears to exist after these changes.

Ireland, 1910-15 This compact “military” billiard has recently celebrated its century. Except the name of the maker and the city name, there are no other markings on the pipe, in particular a designation of the manufacturing country (COM). Such situation was in 1910-15, when the Peterson patent has already expired, but the stamp “Made in…

England, 1950s Smurfs are fantastic creatures (appeared at first in comics, and then in the animation) who escaped an angry wizard and appeared in the Central park of New York. Despite the blue color they are simply little men – with all manners, grimaces and habits specific to people.

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.

USA, 1970s An excellent very lightly smoked American pipe from the most famous producer in USA! The pipe was made in 1970s, a pleasant attempt to inherit either Peterson or some Italians.
