    Captain Pete was just a line of Peterson’s, been around for ages. They were generally pretty limited in shape/scope and tended to be of chunky proportions. Yours is a nice example with the bimetallic ring and lovely rustication. They were mostly on par with Shamrock grade.

    Another Stuck Stem Question

    Freeze it multiple times. The freezing and thawing cycle will break it loose. Sometimes it takes several cycles. If that doesn’t work, dip a pipe cleaner in alcohol and put down the stem into the shank and let it sit. Again this may take several cycles. It will wick away the gunk. Then repeat...

    A Stunning Meer With An Ember Bowl

    It’s probably Turn of The Century 1890-1910ish. As with most meers of that era it was likely made in Austria. Assigning a specific maker is nearly impossible as most of them were shipped to retailers who then branded them and fit them with silver work. There’s a possibility it could be American...

    Dating a Custombilt: Assistance Needed

    The overarching C and full cursive script are from the later production by Consolidated Cigar in the 1970’s. The sparse (by Mincer standards) rustication is also a hallmark of later production as are fine lines of the rotary toll used to do the rusticating.

    That is bone, it turns jet black after having been smoked for years. That’s exactly what the straight system condensers do, they burn close to the draft hole. It’s just part and parcel of the straight system pipe. Also the straight system stingers are often not threaded but rather glued in.

    It’s a lovely pipe, shape numbers change throughout the years, and often change depending on who’s retailing it or where it’s being sold? Roger’s Imports had it’s own shape numbers for all the Pete’s they sold in the U.S. for a brief period in the late 30’s and early 40’s. The numbers did not...

    Dunhill Dating Year

    Is that 3 the only other stamping on the pipe? If so, it’s likely prior to 1921. Which would make it a very early Shell. What’s the button look like?
