I was digging around in my closet so I could take some shots of Dunhills for another thread, and I came across this Peterson pipe. I don't even remember buying it, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it or how old it might be,

Does the silver have date and hallmark stamps? I wouldn't be able to decode it, but here's a good place to start.
It has 3 little symbols and says Petersons, Dublin, Sterling Silver". On the bowl it says Made in the Republic of Ireland" and then Peterson's Mark Twain
I don't remember if I bought it in a store or online.
My guess is it is probably a recently made pipe. I see on online vendors that there is a Mark Twain two pipe set for sale. This is only one pipe though and it's clear from the case that it was only ever one pipe.

Here's another pipe I found in the closet. I believe this one I bought when I dabbled in pipes in the early 2000s. It's a Ser Jacopo. The box says "dalla Gemma". I have to say, the box on this one is really cool - I haven't seen many boxes as plush as this. It must be an older pipe.
Peck ... I'd love to discover a pipe even half that nice in my closet ... it would be a matter of quite some concern to me, however, if I had no recollection of ever having seen it before, let alone purchasing or being gifted it ...
My sister-in-law says she has 'half-heimers' ... only forgets SOME things ... perhaps that would explain your inability to recall anything about this pipe ...

Peck, that Ser Jacopo is one of their high line models that retail at 600.00. That thing has some seriously nice grain and a real nice shape. You should smoke it and let us know what you think.
Peck, always enjoy your posts man. For today though just 24 hours I am going to be bitter jealous petty and dislike you.
