Just grabbed this Peterson Zippo special edition from Ebay for only $75. It's a Standard System shape #30 with "Zippo" engraved on the nickel band, and, of course, a Sherlock Zippo lighter.

That looks like a beauty.
Now that your mentioning Peterson, I just took out my original Peterson (look very much like yours) that I have had for over 35 years and cleaned it out with a retort. It still has ghosting with the aro's I used to smoke many moons ago. I will try a salt treatment hopefully this weekend.
Although I probably paid about near $100 back then, it has been an old friend for me and I want to rekindle the friendship even though I have several 'fancy' pipes in my rotation.
I hope your beauty smokes well for you.

That is a great deal on the set. Nice pipe as well, it should bring you many years of enjoyment. Congrats, Mike.
Thank you, all, for your comments and wishes. I'm smoking it now, and enjoying some Peterson Connoisseur's Choice. Interestingly, this pipe did not have the "pre-charring" in the bowl that's found in the newer models, so I'm guessing it's an older pipe, although brand new condition.
I have the same one, I got it a few years back. (Maybe '05 or '06? It actually has Zippo written on the band) Mine also didn't have carbon in the bowl, but did have stain that needed to get cleaned out. I didn't realize that at the time, but if you have no 'off' taste while smoking it then it sounds like all is good.
