it is so extreme, it makes me wonder if a spiteful spouse took to them all with a drill bit...and then the smoker kept using them, also in spite.
I was surprised that this Sasieni Patent Era pipe did so well. The stem looks like a replacement to me. The dots and pattern look too large to be factory. The seller said it didn't have a stinger, but he didn't answer if the tenon was threaded to accept one.
Sasieni Four Dot Family Era Regate RESTORED patent Estate Tobacco Smoking Pipe | eBay
Meticulously restored by Mike at Bishop's Pipe; this Sasieni Four Dot Regate rusticated bulldog patent numbered London Made with relatively crisp nomenclature; in great condition ready to enjoy
www.ebay.com
What a price on this Sasieni!
I see $5.75 for shipping but I would certainly want that investment fully insured. It is in mind condition. The winning bidder had an ebay rating of 1, we'll how the sale holds. A pretty amazing One Dot for sure.
Yep, someone came to their senses when they saw the giant crack and now relisted at $89 BIN (and crack now mentioned)
mental retardation, a JET / Torch lighter, and a quest to "smoke the tobacco completely to the heel"
Any idea what a System Soecial is? I can't find any reference

We don't have a definitive answer to your question, but the current thought is that 'special' indicates a 'special' run. This pipe fits the bill, as it's not a normal Peterson. I have two with the 'special' stamp - each has something unusual about it. So does 'special' mean ONE special pipe for one customer? Or a special run of a group of pipes? I don't think anyone knows for sure.
ive seen maybe 2 similar pipes on ebay, however I have found them while searching estate pipes and dunhill pipes.
Neither of the ones I found had any markings on them, on metal or wood.
I seem to vaguely recall a reference to specials being handmade pipes given by certain of Peterson’s master pipemakers to guests during tours?
I don't know if this applies, but Barling had a "Special" designation for pipes with better than average grain.
