Dating Peterson Pipe

Are you coming up with 1916?

 

[ashdigger]

1936 London Hallmark.

Not sure how that works out.

What’s the COM read, Made in England?

That’s what I got too. Tim, this is the one I was telling you about

No COM. The silver collar is loose but appears original as the stem is super stuck/oxidized

 

[bayareabriar]

There is an 0 or O under the system at left side of shank

 

[Ahi Ka]

O for oversized. High grade late 30s English petes

Congratulations - that's a very rare Peterson. Any Peterson with London hallmarks is rare, but up until now I had only seen a couple of straight billiards from the 1950's.

If that's the pipe I think it is, it was on ebay for a very short time - I looked at a couple of photos for condition (didn't even get to the hallmarks), and ...poof... it was gone!

Again, great pick-up.

Yeah it was the same one. I believe this is the first/earliest recorded year of the pipes made in London. I’ll be sending her out for restoration soon.

So, from pipedia the range is quite vast. Interesting

Real nice one, big Congrats! ???

By the way, how high did the Drool Rating Index go up? LOL


Our Britwood Society Members must of been slobbering.

There are plenty of Irish-hallmarked London-made Petersons, but hardly any with London hallmarks.

I have seen two with 1950 hallmarks - both same model - and own one of them. Oddly enough, no other London hallmark years until this one popped up.

Btw, this isn’t accurate. I have several Made in England (Rugby Style). Amazing what the experts don’t know. And how little we actually know.

I try to be careful not to deem people experts for no reason other than that they have a blog or website. Mark Irwin is the expert on Petersons, and he's one of the few experts who is always looking for new information, and enjoys updating 'the facts' when new facts appear.

The only English made Peterson I have has the London Made over England Block Format stamping. I'm assuming that's closer to the end of the English made Peterson era.
