Hello smokers
This is a Peterson System 307 I've picked up from a local antique store.



I must say it is really rare to find a pipe anyway in New Zealand and yet I've stumbled on this beauty.



This is the first time I've linked images so I hope everything shows up.

Thanks!

Great to know that the pictures are showing.

It is in a pretty good state and it comes with the box.

I'm still working to rid some minor oxidation on the stem.

Lovely find, allenz. I actually bought an estate 307 on ebay recently that looks to be the same vintage as yours - although the finish on mine is considerably more dulled, the rim is literally worn flat on one spot, and there was so much tarry black deposit in the stem I think I went through about two packets of pipe cleaners trying to clear it out. Still, I got if for peanuts, and it smokes well.

Great find, especially in NZ! My parents spent a year in Christchurch and loved it. Enjoy your pipe in good health.

That's an awesome find... I usually end up sifting through beaters to see if any are salvagable. Congrats!

Way better than anything I've found in the continental U.S. at antique stores or flea markets.
