PETERSON’S System Standard 314 unsmoked

October 18, 2017December 26, 2018

Ireland, 1970-80s

The pipe does not need any long and detailed representations. It’s the real lightweight, shining and still unsmoked Peterson’s system pipe made in 1970-80s (we have obtained it together with a Peterson’s Dunmore pipe made at that time).

The pipe markings are “314”, “Peterson’s \ SYSTEM \ STANDARD”, “MADE IN THE \ REPUBLIC \ OF IRELAND”. The length is 12.8 cm (5.04″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.5 cm (1.38″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.6 cm (1.42″) and this pipe weights 36 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The pipe comes with a box (marked with another Peterson’s model, perhaps a tobacconist took just the first available box to pack the pipe) and a sleeve, both have siginificant signs of storing over many decades.

Also, pay attention to the absence of the COM stamp (‘Country of Manufacture’). According to Pipedia, this is characteristic…

PETERSON’S System Prefect 314

Ireland We didn’t find any information on the Peterson Prefect series, but generally the pipe is a well known and reasonably respected Peterson Systems pipe of the 314 shape. The stem is a nicely made replacement one, it has a traditional P-Lip shape but the drilling is coming to the end of the button unlike…

Denmark Once upon a time there was an engineer. He lived in in the city of Copenhagen where all natives seem to born to play cubes in a father’s workshop, to try a pipe carved by father, and then to carve a pipe even better. So we can consider that the further biography of Eric…
