Just bought a Pete from 1915

Well I just purchased a Peterson from 1915. This is the oldest Pete I've ever seen. I don't have it in my possession yet and it will need restoring when it comes as it is beat and the stem is oxidized, but it will be a beauty when I'm done and a real piece of history. I know its age based on the silver mark.

That is going to be way cool when you get done with it . It appears to have a lot of bird eye in the grain . I wonder if they used real shellac back then .

Very cool. Good luck with the restoration process. Would definitely be interested in seeing the before and after pics.

Great score! Looking forward to hearing how it smokes once you've restored it.

Outstanding, give us a report when she arrives. That should be a realtively easy restoration, can't wait to see her shined up! Wow, a WWI era pipe, truly amazing.

Yeah it has a good bit of rim burn but for being almost 100 years old it looks good.
