Wait ! Someone will post an unsmoked one under the Good Will finds thread that they got for $3.00 !!!As would we all!
I’m sure there are 5 of those or less
I was bewildered by my first plip Peterson, but then one morning I just "got it" while smoking and have loved it since. I'm not a clencher and it took me a minute to figure out to rest my lips on the ledge behind the opening. Now I love them. Especially on the Deerstalkers, which are my favorite pipes by Peterson.
Vulcanite is for vampires and smokers with no teeth and sensitive gums. Vulcanite is for shut ins who are scared of the sun and oxygen. Vulcanite is for the year 1920. Just say no kids.
There was at least 12 made, perhaps more.As would we all!

Not an attempt to alter or hijack the original post, but this seems relevant here.
Are these newer vulcanite stems "different" in composition from older ones? I'm frustrated by what has happened to the estate vulcanite stems I have of old (disgusting appearance and personal lip sensitivity; how much maintenance?) and a knowledgeable answer would help me tremendously.
I would love to purchase one of these (P-lip fan) if I felt I would enjoy the stem; and I bought a couple of short army versions recently that I haven't smoked but should have asked this question earlier...

I'm loving the shape but the plip is making it hard to pull the trigger.
I've never minded the p-lip but after buying some straight p-lip pipes recently I've become more of a fan. Doesn't help in this instance since I won't be buying a bent pipe since I rarely smoke those but personally I noticed much less of a difference between a p-lip and a fishtail when the pipe is straight.
Yep..And the swan neck shape is so close to the geometry of my fishtail 91 SH Professor(they used to make them slimmer in those years) so I will pass on this POY..But its a beautiful pipe
Plastic is for yo-yo's and fast food utensils. Good quality vulcanite, accept no substitute. I'll give pass on Castello acrylics, they use the same plastic as Ferrari knobs. Who is smoking a Peterson with out the P-lip? Sacrilege.
The Euro group sold last night. I don't think any smooth pipes were listed.
Yeah I still might end up getting one, we'll see how I feel at 6pm lol.
Picked up a Rua, which is what I wanted, checked out, fiddled around on the site looking at other stuff and . . . five minutes after I bought the pipe got the usual notice letting me know they had dropped, lol!
