Need Help Dating Peterson Kapruf "London Made England"

[Duke of Erinmore]

I have recently obtained a Peterson Kapruf Billiard I'm about to restore.

The stamp indeed puzzles me. It says

PETERSON KAPRUF

LONDON MADE
ENGLAND

135



I checked Pipedia, where it says about the London Petes:

English made Peterson pipes actually spans between the pre-Republic and Republic eras. In 1895, Peterson opened a shop in London England that lasted until the late 1950s or early 1960s. So the English Era, for a simplified date, will be from 1895 through 1959. The stamps Peterson used in London and that we have seen are;

1. Made in England - block format
2. Made in England - circle format
3. Made in London
4. Made in London England
5. Simply, London England.
6. Great Britain

This only helps as far as the pipe is older than 1960. But my stamp - LONDON MADE ENGLAND in 2 lines - is not listed there.

So any ideas from the Pete experts when this pipe was made? Thanks in advance!

Wasn’t the kapruf made for the Canadian market? That could explain different COM?

That so? Would surprise me because I bump into them all the time here in Europe and I doubt that they are all reimports from Canada...

I’m probably confused. Wouldn’t be the first time.
