Help ID this Peterson Shape

[dixie]

Picked up this beautiful gold banded Supreme. Hallmarks date it 1971. Having trouble finding anything on this 15 shape though. Can only find the 15 as a straight pipe with no indicators that there is also a 15 bent. Any ideas? I do love the shape.

I would try re-posting in the Show us your Peterson thread wear the CPGs abound; or contacting Mark irwin at Peterson Pipe Notes. I do not think that is a shape number but perhaps a production number like 15 of 50 etc. It looks like an 01 or 02 or house pipe shape to me but I am no expert.
Its a beautiful pipe with birdseye ... I suspect its a limited addition or a rarity. The experts will know ...

I'd ask that any reposting wait a day or two!

You might want to peruse this PPN article on gold mounted Supremes. In the middle of it Mark irwin states that he finds it difficult to believe that they were NOT made between the 1950s and mid-seventies and if anyone has one to let him know. If indeed yours is a 1971 Gold Mounted Supreme he might find it a very rare pipe. Just a suggestion to contact him and find out for sure. Good Luck !
