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.

England Every respected pipe manufacturer tried to expand the range and to attract buyers not only with a variety of models, shapes and finishes, but also with numerous “delicacies”: accessories, pipes sets – for 7 days, for 5 days, “evening – morning”, and so on and so forth. Naturally, the value of such set is…

Italy We hardly can remember any other country with such a variety of magic tasty music, wine and pipes like Italy. Some Italian makers show an absolutely incredible performance (Rossi did make 50 000 pipes a day during some periods) and many famous brands from Ireland and Denmark place production orders in Italy last years.

England It’s ‘s a very nice and remarkable example of the John Redman production in the second half of the XX century. The pipe is remarkable at least due to two reasons: it’s still unsmoked and it’s completed with the twin bore stem – much more reliable than traditional “slot button” stems. Actually it seems…
