Where are the Peterson 411’s ? The shape was re-issued recently and is reminiscent of the early twentieth century pipe styles. I never see them here from the more traditional shape lovers. What gives?

That’s one of the better grained/burled barleys I’ve seen. Congrats!

PPN 3/105 also coming in with a shallow top shelf. Beautiful pipe regardless. About to break it in with some GL Pease 25yr Anniversary.

Sure is looking "sketchy" on that upper shelf. But the pipe is nice.

That my current gripe with recent POY offerings, very shallow P-lip walls (or shelve). My 160th p-lip is passable.

Finally got my Petersons in today. Man these are good looking pipes. I feel like I luck out with my p-lips being nice and crisp.
I got set 52/75.

My 160ths arrived yesterday in the post but I didn't get a chance to open them until today. The grain and stain on the Rua is amazing. Loving the hero more than I thought I would.

I believe all the Pat B, and OB P-Lips are nice and crisp because its a brand new mold. It my understanding that the die cast molds break down over time, eventually needing to be replaced.

I was following that briar circle Pete, too. I think it was Dan Chasin that had recently posted something about a similar pipe in his collection, possibly in the PSOI group. It’s definitely cool. The photos by Chance Whittamore (greatestatepipes) always seem somewhat oversaturated and with lots of added contrast, but pipes you buy from him are restored to as close to new as is possible. I can highly recommend him.

The colours of Chance’s photos never match the pipe you receive; something is waaay off on his colour balance. But the pipes are nicely cleaned up and tastefully polished, unlike Todd’s dripping wet, shiny candy apple treatment that rarely looks like the factory finish found on most brands.

I wish all my fellow Pete Geeks a Merry Christmas Nevada Style -US Christmas Tree '25

Very nice Craig- love the barley finish, but love the lines/stem curve even more.

I feel the same

@Urban Briar CPG that's an interesting hypothesis. I had figured they were just overbuffed

69/105 showed up today! Excited to break it in later.

Here’s a very old Peterson Tin I snagged. Better pictures when it’s in my hands.

I love the "Thinking Man smokes a Pipe" cutout!
What is the story with that piece?
Was it once inside a tobacco store?
I would love to have one.

Mark Irwin had them created and sold thru his blog. I think he still has some available.

Outstanding!
I don't see any link to buy it directly, maybe I'm missing it.
I will try to contact him.
I appreciate it.

I found the post related to it and have already sent en email.
Hopefully I'm not too late.

And since we are showing off Petersons, here is my first one, bought in 1997 in a little tobacco store in London.
I really wish I could remember the name of the place.
I still remember the strong and bitter taste of the ebonite the first time I put it in my mouth, oddly awful and pleasant... It disappeared after a while.
This pipe has been to many places and unfortunately has been dropped a few times as it has been a good companion in all sorts of trips. The rim got chipped in a couple spots.
It is beaten up but one of my dearest pipes.
