What's the lip of a pipe?So there's lips, buttons, bits and slots
Could make forr a cosy nursery rhyme.
Oh gotcha! I thought "I've never heard of a pipe's lip" but then I realized there i the p-lip from Petereson...A button or a bit
Personally, I’ve never found an orific bit constricted, but the idea behind the slot was to spread the smoke as one sips.
The conversion would consist of cutting a slot by removing button material on either side of the round opening. If done properly the airway funnels out to the lip.

Ashford "S" shapes usually don't do well, but this one was a Natural (and Chance the seller).
We don't see many of these sets, and I don't think that I've ever seen one in unsmoked condition. (I believe from 2001)

VERY MINT! Here's your chance! It is a perfectly preserved and beautiful example of the legendary English pipemaking tradition. The rim is crisp, clean, and shows crisp cross grain. The original four dot stem is in perfect condition, with four perfect dots.

These full sets that Peterson did in the 2000s and 2010s are so popular these days. They came out a little before I got into pipes but I don't remember them being super sougt after in the past. But I guess that's true of all Petersons.Ashford "S" shapes usually don't do well, but this one was a Natural (and Chance the seller).

Very grateful that a forum member made this available via ebay, so I wanted to thank him and also post in case anyone else has an interest in the original Herbert Merchant pipes.
Merchant Service 'Special'
Image below shows the 'Special' at left, then a normal Merchant Service pipe, then Peterson's effort at a similar design (Dublin & London 445 'Long Pasttime'). These are ~7" long.
The 'Special' has a larger bowl and wider stem. It also has nice flame grain, while the regular one has decent birdseye. I had wondered if the odd rim treatment of my pipe was original, but since the 'Special' has similar, it must be.

That’s the EZ loader rim. I had an original special that was exactly like that.
Absolutely. My Merchants all have those rims, with the exception of one briar that is shorter and a normal billiard shape.
Excellent collection of long stems. There was shop called Ed’s (Tinderbox) that made quite a few pencil shank long Stems and sold to Bing and others. You’ll have to get one for your extra space on the right in the rack. They are crazy crude/rustic in their making and I haven’t smoked one yet. (I’m working on several). The Pete has a cracked shank but came from the same estate as quite a few long stems.Very grateful that a forum member made this available via ebay, so I wanted to thank him and also post in case anyone else has an interest in the original Herbert Merchant pipes.

Very nice! That rack is just for photographs - my girlfriend seems happiest when I limit things to one large pipe rack on the coffee table.
Al - perhaps you have thoughts on this one, as it has a 9BC look to it.

In other news, a serious collector’s pipes continue to be dispersed. This silver-clad beauty did well.
It did indeed. While too rich for my blood, as a major fan of silver bling, I'll say that is a freakin' marvelous pipe.
Not many of these ‘hand made’ make the bay.
