Peterson markings

[Seeleybc1]

Hello

another question where I did at least attempt to use the search feature here! and didn’t see anything pertinent, unless it was deeply buried in a thread…
anyways was hoping someone could enlighten me quickly.
I have two Peterson pipes, an estate 2020 x mas xl90, and a new 2022 Xmas 230. The 2022 pipe has all normal markings, but made in Ireland as well. The 2020 pipe does not have the made in Ireland.
any reason for this?
from what I read they obviously fall well within and very close to one another in the modern, 1990-present Palmer era

Doesn't look like they chose to include that in the stamping for the 2020 Christmas pipe. I'll have to look later, but I don't think it's on the 2018, either - maybe because of the rustication they wanted to limit the space for the stampings, maybe they were made in Vermont.

With Peterson you never can tell what they are going to do. And aren't they all made in Ireland??

I thought Peterson split their factory and are now made in 2 different places? Not sure.

Yes it’s interesting. The 230 is smaller and all the stampings are crammed in the rectangle of smooth briar, where the xl90 has plenty of space, I mean plenty, and the stamp is omitted.

Very cool article thanks!

So it seems the answer to my question may be as simple as they just didn’t put the stamp on some ?

Relocated - close to the Sallynoggin location, still in Ireland.

peterson.ie will usually provide definitive answers to questions in a couple of days. Nothing like getting answers right from the manufacturer.

You’re right about that

Just emailed Peterson customer service, so we’ll see what they say. I’ll report back for those interested

Ok,

Well Peterson emailed me back very promptly, and said “The reason is that the "Made in Ireland" stamp was brought back in 2021.”

Re reading the tail end of the article that was provided above in the link, it actually does say this, although, to me at least, the way it was phrased is a bit confusing. (I was taking it as differentiating between two stamps).
But anyhow, point is, 2018-present is Laudisi. And of those years 2021-present the “made in Ireland” stamp .

Interesting stuff
