I just got my first Peterson which is a deluxe 9s. I’ve been wanting to add a Peterson to my collection for some time and I threw a $1 over the max bid for this pipe a few days before the ebay assuming I would lose it but it stuck.
The pipe smokes great and I get now why people like the p-lip and the system drilling. I was able to have a smoke where I wasn't worried about moisture or a pipe cleaner at any point. I only use a cleaner a few times a smoke but it’s still nice to not have to think about it with this pipe.
I never thought during the auction that there's a few things odd with this stem from the usual deluxe pipes I’ve seen which are:
Bonus question: does anyone know what year this pipe is from its hallmark? The last symbol kind of looks like a T or maybe a J but it’s hard to tell.

I never thought during the auction that there's a few things odd with this stem from the usual deluxe pipes I’ve seen which are:
- There is no 'P' logo on the stem
- This stem sits flush with the band where others don't
- The stem is not the same diameter as the band (though maybe this is normal)
Bonus question: does anyone know what year this pipe is from its hallmark? The last symbol kind of looks like a T or maybe a J but it’s hard to tell.
