My New Old Peterson

[Alex.Jr]

Here it is. A system standard 309. (Box just for pics)

Dated (I was told) from 1960/70. Any pete freaks here to confirm that?

Well let me fire up this baby, enough talking. ?

I’d guess the pipe closer to 1990 but what do I know? ?
1980s at the earliest. Most likely late 1980s.
However could even be early 90s.

Thanks for the info. Not that this is a big deal, but just a matter of curiosity.

Just finishing my first bowl now and it smokes like a dream.

Not a single gurgle, even when pushing it. ( I’m looking at you fishtail shape 05) ?

Love my Petes, about ten or so.

Very nice. I have 3 Peterson’s now and very much enjoy them.

I’m turning into a pete freak myself. Only 2 for now but already thinking about the next.

This 309 is awesome. Too bad this shape is not made anymore.

Looks like it was barely smoked before, if ever. Nice find!

Awesome. The 309 is a shape I'd like to get at some point. The straight walls are so appealing. The 313s are cool too, but I prefer a bit more chamber.

I guess I’m a Peter Freaker too??‍

I haven’t seen a 313 in person but indeed it seems quite smaller.

This 309 is the largest pipe I own, but it’s quite nice to have one on the bigger side, it’s like a seat back and relax “house pipe” size.

Ps: I know this would be like a mini toy pipe for chasingembers ?

I also wouldn't mind getting a House or Pub pipe for similar reasons. Even shags and ribbons will stay smoldering forever in some of those big ass pipes.

Pub pipe is awesome and basically dirt cheap. House pipes are basically the same size but I think higher grade briar. The funny thing is that they say the house pipes are bigger but when you compare the specs on SP they’re the same essentially.

Imagine a folded and stuffed slow burning flake... ??

Well done! ? A hard to find pipe, especially in such good condition.

Now, that is a great find! Congratulations on a good score!

I really wish Peterson would bring back the 309 / 4s. I got a System 309 back in the early 90s that was one of my favorite bar pipes. Before the smoking bans in Illinois and Michigan, it was my go to St. Patirick’s day pub crawl companion.
