A Potential Old Peterson Find

[Dshift]

Please tell me that I actually got something old and not a commemorative edition from the 90s again…

Better photos once it get to me

From those photos, looks legit to me...

Hard to tell from the pics but the hallmarks will give you the date. The stamping will be helpful, too, so good pictures of both please.

It’s a seriously nice pipe though.

That what I had to work with while deciding if to buy it and for what price, at the end of the day I paid 90€ and I guess we will see when it comes here

Looks good, I’m sure you will be pleased. Congratulations.

I can't read the hallmark letter, but I don't believe on the Commemorative releases they were stamped with a grade number (2 shown here).

I’d say it was a solid find either way.

So the commemorative releases were stamped with a grade number?

Great Find!! Looks to be from 1924. Commemoratives don’t have grade stamping that I’ve ever seen.

The price is killer too.

Let’s hope so. Another thing that got me suspicious was the stem is this style common for the era? I am sorry but I have limited experience with really old Petes and I still can’t find a copy of the book for reference…

Do you want the really good news?

What me to toy with you longer?

No (I don't believe they were stamped with a grade number, my 1910 was not.)

No toying around please…

Top pipe is from 1922 - House Pipe

Bottom pipe is an 01 from 1923

What do you notice

 

[ashdigger]

Heres the measurement of the 01

Yes it is pretty much the same as the 1923, also the seller did not specify any dimensions but he called the pipe XXL so that checks too with it being a house pipe. Thank you so much!!!

Love those! @ashdigger

Oh wow if I got the conversion to normal people units right(sorry I just had to) this a Giant pipe! I bet it's not a surprise for you folks, but the biggest Pete I've had is a 9s deluxe and it was too big... Now I am really excited, because I love my smaller pipes during the day, but at night I love me a 2-3 hour smoke. I will also try not to do any research on resell value, so I don't get tempted into selling it.
