Peterson Dunmore 77

[dingdong]

This is something new and i have never even aware that a system pipe without mount actually exist..this one appears in 1971 or so (for Iwan Ries?) and went thru several iterations. Some are smooth and few rustics.
Peterson Dunmore (shape#77) marking a bit feint, nevertheless in good condition. Small in size (vs new 313) yet very easy and light to clench, and rustic finish to hold on to..






aaand its a sitter

If you can handle the p-lip you should be fine.

I found the plip on the 313 being too thick, but this one is ok, comparably thinner

Interesting pipe! I hadn't seen a shape 77 until now.

Indeed, initially i thought it was a knock off of some sort (with no nickel mount) yet it was real and rare Pete

I have a smooth version that was actually produced for Iwan Ries at one time. Instead of the "P" on the stem, it is stamped "IRC"
The real oddity about mine is that it is stamped Peterson Kapp-Royal but has the unique Dunmore bead work. (that information came from Mark Irwin) The shape is a 79 and it stamped "Made in the Republic of Ireland" in three lines.

Wow look at those nice burls if i read right - the idea for Dunmore comes from Iwan Ries?
Mine was 77 (smallest) and Rustic so the stamping are scattered in the flat bottom and since its a sitter a bit faded.
