Help Me Date a Pete

[pianopuffer]

Couldn't pass up this shape 53 lovat (my fav) in a sandblasted Pete. Upon some initial research, based on the stamping, this would be a pre-republic pipe? Any help much appreciated!

Peterson’s can be tricky. The “off brands” aren’t stamped the way Peterson’s are.

Then you have Peterson using random “era’s” after they became a Republic.

BUT THERES THIS.

I have a bunch of Pre-Republic Peterson’s and not one are sandblasted. I don’t know when they started blasting, I’ll pull my Peterson book out.

I’ll dig into this.

Here’s a snippet from an excellent website, unfortunately the redirect took me to spam.



This exemplifies the problem with dating off brand Peterson’s.

Made in (over) Ireland usually refers to 1947-1949, but not always.

It’s probably from the 60s it’s a Canadian market pipe. They marked them like that much later than other markets. I don’t know why.

Wow, super interesting. My initial thoughts were mid to late 40's given the Pipehill info.
BROBS - how do you know its a Canadian market pipe? What distinguishes them from others?

The Kapruf pipe was only offered in Canada.

Dude, if you want to date a Pete, none of my business. I prefer dating Priscilla, Penny or even Penelope.

I can see why you would smoke it like that. Do you take it down to the bowl or just the silver ring?
