You're not likely to find one. They only made 10 natural in total. Smokingpipes has some others in stock though. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/peterson/index.cfm?tag=Pipe%20of%20the%20Year%202019
And SP has a 10% sale on all pipes right now.

This is why I have held off. I am really liking the Natural finish. Luckily I was able to score the Natural Spigot 999 from Paulg. Obviously, its not a POY, but so far, it's my POY.

That's a very nice pipe. Congrats on a great acquisition!

@anthony I wont be buying anything for a few months, that's why its a lost cause for me. I have a few pipes on layaway (a Kikuchi and a Peterson) and a few in restoration (with George D and Ric Farrah).
Micro-batches of a few hundred don't really suit companies when their customer base is in a few million. I would have appreciated if SPC made more pipes.
Edit: The only pipes I collect ever year are Peterson Christmas ones, 1 unique shape every year. That's all. Also, cant spend in dollars when I earn in Rupees lol.
@Ashdigger The italian stores have some really nice natural Petersons
Cheers,

Chris :puffpipe:

Beautiful pipe, Anthony.

I agree with you. If SP.com can get the folks at Peterson to bring this out in Rosslare Royal Irish, it will run right off the charts.

Still the john bull is a beaut.

Does anyone remember what the Natural 999's were selling for? (10 in number) Somene has one on Ebay, and I'm curious as to the original price.

Was somewhere between 300 and 400-say around 340
