Here's one I bought recently that I thought was a great looking pipe but when I received it, the bowl was huge. I generally don't buy pipes I don't smoke but this one is a bit large for me. Bowl is a bit oblong shaped and OD measures 1.5" and a chamber depth of 1.75". Guess it sterling on the stem, says 235/300 on the bottom. Great pipe but wish I had bought a Peterson Spigot instead.

It's a beauty. Personally, I like the feel of a large pipe in my hand. Did you purchase new or is it an estate? Are you looking to sell it? (Just curious)

Neat looking pipe. At the risk of offending Pete fans I'd say you got the better pipe here. It's obviously #235 of a run of 300 so it's a limited piece as well.

Yes, I figured it was a limited run. Looks like it has only had one smoke, bowl still looks new. Bought it off EBay as an Estate. Paid a lot for it but if I am not going to smoke it, why keep it. I could sell it but more interested in maybe a trade for a near new Peterson Spigot system P-lip pipe. May not be apples to apples but I really like Peterson's. The bowl is about 2 1/8" tall...lol....it's a handful.
