New acquisition - Peterson "Silver Cap #264"
@bigvan They are my photographs. I'm a photographer / cinematographer by trade so I use my big boy cameras to take my pipe pics! :D @gnatjulio Yes. I do not own a buffing wheel, so I just use a lot of elbow grease. Between buffing and restoring the stem, my hands were pretty darn pruny...- misterpeters

New acquisition - Peterson "Silver Cap #264"
I would like to add that if anyone is looking to use Matchstickman's method of removing oxidization from your stem, and is wondering if the Oxiclean will damage silver / metal inlays and such - it does not (I was worried about that myself). Also, I went to my local automotive shop to get the...- misterpeters

New acquisition - Peterson "Silver Cap #264"
@regmedic1 @frtimmyd @oldredbeard Appreciate the comments! I'm already loving the pipe, and I haven't even smoked it yet. Have to wait until tomorrow night due to the alcohol treatment :? I know that what a pipe is worth is how much you love it and how well it smokes, but I'm such a sucker...- misterpeters

New acquisition - Peterson "Silver Cap #264"
Just got this beauty off of eBay! ...From a collector who has only smoked it twice, he's had it since 1997. Had quite a bit of oxidization - spent two and some-odd hours sanding and polishing it using this method I found on the forums which really works!

Need to Identify a Peterson!
@herbindave Thank you for bringing that up! I went to Peterson's website to date it; 1999 according to the "N"'s font vs the chart http://www.peterson.ie/pipes/hallmarking.html# Pretty cool. Also want to thank everyone again for all the info. Everyone here is great 8)- misterpeters

Need to Identify a Peterson!
@Phillip Thank you for that! I'm browsing Pipedia now. @herbinedave I put a magnifying glass to it, the only thing I can clearly distinguish is the letter "N" on one of them, I'm assuming the other is the crest, and the middle stamp looks to be either a bell, a silhouette of a person, or...- misterpeters

Need to Identify a Peterson!
@herbinedave @rothnh I actually got a darn good deal on it, the seller (whom has 100+ pipes, if that matters) is a regular at my work. He and I got to talking about pipes one day, and he sold it to me for $75 knowing that I needed a pipe of my own. ...And that's where I caught PAD/TAD. Oh no...- misterpeters

Need to Identify a Peterson!
@hawk60ce, I figured the "999" would be a pretty obvious assumption - I should have clarified in my original post. I did a search on that, and just browsing other Peterson's noticed many other models with the same stamp; I gathered that it was the "shape" rather than the exact model. I still...- misterpeters

Need to Identify a Peterson!
Hey all, Here goes my first post. I recently acquired this beautiful Peterson as an estate pipe from a collector. I'm very interested to know the exact model and how much it might be worth - not that I'd ever sell it :lol: I've done many searches online and even went to Peterson's website...- misterpeters
