I have this kind of Peterson pipe marked Shamrock a Peterson Product
A relative of the Irish Seconds line, I was told at the Tinder Box where I bought it in, I think, 1972 or 3.
It's a straight Pot, shape 606 fishtail and eventually became a pretty sweet smoker.
When the University banned smoking, I set it aside and after I was downsized, it was one of the first to be returned to service.
15 or 20 years ago I was attempting to ream the cake with a Czech pipe tool and unintentionally carved a 1/8th x inch long trench into the side of the bowl.
I gave pipe mud a try, but it wouldn't stay in place so I retired my beloved Shamrock not wanting to burn out the bowl.
She didn't deserve an ignoble Viking's funeral.
Shamrock was again returned to the shoebox until I came across a YouTube linked on this very forum, singing the praises of something called pipe mortar, so thought I'd give it a try. Or two.
The first try the Pipe mortar came out slurry like and dried too soft, so I scraped out the patch and mixed another batch with less water so it was more wet cement like.
Shamrock is in the post-op ICU as I write this.
Perhaps I'll get it right this time 'round
