Just noted on the Peterson Facebook page that the 2020 Peterson POY is to be the reintroduction of the 9BC. Attractive looking pipes which are somewhat reminiscent of the Sherlock Holmes Professor.

I own a pre-Republic 9BC. It's the top one. The other two are pre-Republics as well.
I wish the new pipe was a 4AB.

I wish the new pipe was a 4AB too. Luv those pipes. ?
That shape looks nice and substantial, I like it.
I have a 4s but yeah I'd prefer it with the tapered stem of a 4AB. Heck, I'd prefer all my deluxe system pipes to have tapered stems.
Put me down for a 4AB, also!
Mark Irwin's book, The Pipes of Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes , has a nice discussion about the 4AB. This small paperback is quite fascinating, and is filled with pictures from the movies. Here's the Amazon link:

I saw that on another forum earlier today. I couldn't find it on Facebook - what is the name of the group?
I'm interested, but depending on the price, hope they don't go nuts with a POY

Last April, Mark Irwin posted on his blog that the 9BC was returning. Turns out it was an April Fools day joke. Hope that's not the case here!
I'm a group called Peterson Pipes, but they don't really show current posts, that I can discern. The guy on the other forum said it was on the Ireland Peterson Pipes page, but I couldn't find that either. Below is a screen cap of Peterson Pipe pages on Facebook:
If only they had an actual website they could use to publish this stuff.
Isn’t the 4AB called “the Rathbone?”
I rather prefer Jim’s bulldog above. Nice selection!

You would think Laudisi would be all over this, as they are as internet and social media savvy as it comes.
That XL155 bulldog is the model Nigel Bruce smoked in a couple of the SH movies. Shane Ireland liked it so much he took pics of that bulldog at the last CORPS show. I'd like to see that back in action, too. Imagine packaging that and the 4AB as the Holmes and Watson series (I wonder if they could legally say "Rathbone and Bruce" series)!
Dang! I would have been excited for the bottom two. Except for my systems I prefer straight pipes and Canadians and bulldogs are two of my favorites.
The only thing about a Peterson 2020 POY that I can find on Facebook is this: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10158456432049703&set=gm.10158304605633658. The poster, of course, does not provide his source.
There is a Kapp & Peterson page which appears official, Kapp & Peterson - https://www.facebook.com/kappandpeterson, but it contains nothing about a 2020 POY.
