    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Here is an odd Supreme. I'd not seen this shape before. It is stamped with a 15 which, traditionally belongs to a straight billiard. And, that number is at the end of the underside of the shank, not on the right side near the bowl. Has a system stummel but no condenser. Hallmarked to 1971...

    Unusual Peterson

    What are you referring to by "Might be that weird thing on the end of the stem"?

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I just bin'd the 9BC in question and agree that the stem is NOT a 9BC stem. I have nine other 9BC's and, a couple of years ago, I sent one to Peterson for a new stem. They returned it with one of those longer stems so I had to return it to them for the proper stem, which they got right the...

    I like this blend also. Especially the very old stuff. Very similar the Connoisseur (Burak) Scottish Ribbon.
