Peterson Missing Hallmark years on chart?

[LiamClanNastey]

This is probably a much flogged topic but I have searched here and can't find the answer (could be user error of course).

I've seen the Hallmarks Chart and it gives the dates for 1891-1938 and 1969 to present. Can you tell me what happened to hallmark dates between 1939 and 1968 please?

Cheers
Niall

Why not just query Peterson on their website? They are usually very prompt with responses to my queries.

 

[LiamClanNastey]

Thanks Warren. Never thought of that

The general consensus is that the traditional hallmark markings were not used between 1938-1968, indeed the K&P shield was the hallmark.

That's interesting. So is that the shamrock, wolfhound, castle and they were not just used on Nickel?

I had this one saved.




But you are right, Mark Irwin posted this one. You might want to email and ask him, you might get a faster answer.

Perfect thanks. Peterson also came back with that. Great service all round ;-)

Here is an article and for the rest of the story you need to check the book! Peterson pipe hallmarks – Peterson Pipe Notes - https://petersonpipenotes.org/tag/peterson-pipe-hallmarks/

LOL, and if I could lay my hands on the book I'd find the story and relate it, but work called!

I’m going to try and get the book I think. Getting obsessed now

Mark Irwin needs to live forever to keep his good work going. Been a fam for years.

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party...
But, to affirm what has already been said, there are several years in which Peterson was not recording/ Hallmarking their work.

From The Peterson Pipe book.


The story continues to state that the company then used the hallmarks to advertise the collectibility of their pipes.

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but it is interesting.

 

[LiamClanNastey]

It is interesting. Thanks. I’m still a little confused over whether we can tell whether a pipe has Nickel or Silver within that time. Presumably they marked them with “Silver” alongside the shamrock, wolfhound and Castle?

Can anyone tell me the ISBN of the book please? Just on the off-chance I can find one here rather than the delivery from US

I couldn't find the ISBN number on my copy. I thought it was only available at SmokingPipes. May be sold out.

Yes that's what I read too. Worth a try here though. Maybe a used copy. "Pipedreamin' "
