Today on Ebay I bought a full bent Peterson for $1.81 plus shipping. No, it was not pristine. A 609 with a silver collar. Maybe I will be able to find someone to refurbish it for me.
Edit: Corrected capitalization in title per Rule #9, L.

On Ebay

Item # 190 945 922 925

You want pictures maybe Ebay will let you see the transaction.

I live in Nicaragua, I bought the pipe in the UK. It will take a month or more for me to receive it.

No offence but .....
That is one old tired System Pete literally smoked to death. Literally. Looks like the bowl had cracked/split and someone glued it back together.

That was brutal mate.
@spud----- For $1.81, you should get quite a few good smokes out of it mate. Clean er up good and enjoy

Pretty rough looking, but as said, just put some love and elbow grease in it. It may prove a decent smoke. And if not, just shine it up and use as a "display only" :)

Stan's right. It's a PoS. Might get something for the silver band.

I'd say you'll get a lot of good smokes out of that Peterson once she's all cleaned up. As mentioned above the silver band and pipe stem is worth a whole lot more than the small cost paid. I was looking at the exact pipe on eBay myself a few days ago. Congratulations on the great buy!

I don't know what kind of smoke you will get from a cracked pipe or even if it is smokeable. I hope you can restore it yourself, because it is not worth sending out to a professional.

The shank cap is not silver. Look at it closely , it has the faux hallmarks shamrock-tower-fox which indicate a plain nickel band.

Indeed, one could use the stem if it's not chewed through it should clean nicely. As for the bowl itself, it looks like it has blown up in someone's hand once before.
