I have at least 8 Peterson 314's. They seem to be the perfect combination of attributes for me.

That being said, I'm noticing that the newer ones have dimensions that are slightly smaller than the older ones, putting the 312 as perhaps closer in chamber dimensions to the old 314's?

To complicate matters for me, I prefer the newer dimensions on the acrylic stems to the dimensions on the older stems, but generally prefer the older bowl grain presentation and aesthetics...

I'm grateful to have the complications of abundance.
I may be up to 10 Pete 314's now......................... ;)
 
The only time i wound up having multiples was by accident. Years ago, in my pipe buying fervor i guess i just liked a particular Karl Erik so much i bought 2 of the same pipe. Of course, being hand made they had slight differences, like the color of the wood on the shank accent, but the same kind of wood. I smoked through my pipes for a long time before i took a tally and noticed what i had done. 🤪 So, when it came time to thin the herd, i picked the one i liked best and offered the other to a family member.
