I am thankful for many serious good things this year like everyone else, which will remain in my prayers.
I am also thankful for something else: I've always wanted one of those large vintage Peterson 01 pipes like Charles Peterson but they are few and far between and out of my price range.
That's why I am enormously grateful to @ashdigger for allowing me to purchase the modern equivalent of my grail pipe which will be the last and best pipe I will ever own: A 1998 Peterson House pipe in oak finish (Tom Palmer era ??? (I just made that up I think)).
When it arrived I was surprised at its size. Its about 2mm all around bigger then today's average house pipe. When it arrived last week I immediately cleaned and polished the stem and condenser. Then I cleaned and waxed the bowl. I cleaned the shank and bowl quickly then did two back to back 24 hour salt and alcohol cleanings to bring the shank and bowl back to new, (Somebody liked English tobaccos !).
I will be smoking it for the first time tomorrow on Thanksgiving Day and thinking of @ashdigger ! Thank you very much !
The house pipe is actually the same height (65mm) as the pub pipe but because of its shape looks slightly smaller. The chamber is roughly 22.5x52+mm.

Just got some pipes back from restoration. They turned out great.
If you are ever in need of a pipe doctor Max Capps of Maxcappspipes@gmail.com is a pleasure to work with. No nonsense and priced reasonably.

This little guy is my favorite I believe a 1916
. But I’m still trying to get a better image of the hallmark (very faded).

That's a new one on me. I've sent quite a few pipes to Briarville for reaming and cleaning with great results.
Oh I just got a nice flame grain too I will finish it up today and show it off

I dig historical pipes and may grab a sandblast if I find some grain that I like.
2.4k made so you should be able to i hope
Ok this new addition is a bit of mystery to me... Dating it should be pretty easy straight forward - no hallmarks and a MADE IN IRELAND block stamp, plus the 309 stamp puts it in my opinion in 1948 or 1949. What weird me out is the lack of an additional stamp under Peterson's system.. seeing that it has a bone condenser it looks like a premier system to me, i think I have also seen some system 0s with silver ferules... Anyways there is no additional stamp. Does anyone have any idea or is it something normal , that I just haven't seen before? @ashdigger 
Great looking pipe. It’s from the 20’s. I have a few Petersons Systems from the 20’s that are actually Deluxes with that silver cap.
Peterson in the 20’s did some crazy stuff
Ok very interesting, what gave it away as being from the 20s? Shouldn't it have same hallmarks then? This changes things a lot and dating pipes becomes confusing again...
The only thing I can think of is the ferrule shape, but then weren't the 3xx stamps introduced in the late 30s?
