Peterson Kapmeer 80s

[Scarlet claw]

HI peeps, just wondering if anyone can tell me what era this is from.
I don't know if it's new or as in made in the 2000 onward or 1950's onward.
i've seen one from the 50's 60's but the stem fits flush & is same size as the shank.
Plus on mine there is no where it was made? Unless it's was rubbed off with over use but it seems to me just not stamped.

Need a close up of the stamping that is there. (camera phones take great close-up shots, under a light, no flash)

Does the tenon insert into wood or is there a sleeve inside the mortise?

I wonder if COM got sanded off?
but Kapmeer as yours started production in 1968 and produced until the 80’s.

I should add I got this answer from “The Peterson Pipe” by Mark Irwin and Gary Malmberg. It’s the best source of info about Peterson’s. I can only recommend that anyone with an interest in Peterson Pipes picks it up.

Agreed. I was too lazy to go upstairs and check my copy. You are right - every Pete enthusiast needs this book. They are starting to pop up used on Ebay.

? Can't contribute any info, just dropped by to say that's a really cool Pete!

Did anyone come back to you with a value, no matter how rough a guesstimate, my husband has one, which he bought in the 70s, and is interested.

Need a picture of the nomeclature (COM) stamp on the other side. Guessing Republic era.

Hello. What year do you think this belongs to?

 

[ssjones]

Republic era for sure (1949 +)
Exactly what beyond that, I can't say.
I'd check with Mark Irwin. He'll know when the Kapmeer and that style disappeared from catalogs.
