I was checking out the Peterson Pipe Notes site the other day and looking at the 301 pictured there. It’s a STAR System pipe. The caption notes how awesome this pipe can look when it has a correctly bent stem.
This got me curious as to how similar my 301 STAR bend is to the pictured one. As I start examining I notice that the pipes look similar. As I really start looking, it becomes clear it is the same pipe!
I know I have to show a pic, so I tried real hard and came up with one, but it isn’t a great photo. But take my word, the pipes are the same. Exact same grain and dark spots.

So ya, my pipe is a smokin’ model. How about that?
