Peterson Pipes Made in England - Rugby Style

[ashdigger]

Here’s a few of the Pete’s I own. These are all Made in England - Rugby Style. Not a common find. I’ll add more as I dig them out of the drawer.

Forgive my ignorance, but what makes them rugby style?

The elongated style of Made In England.

It’s shaped like a Rugby Ball.

Some circles. Some are block lettering.

Excellent collection ashdigger! My only Made in England Pete is a 1309 system made for the Canadian market. It has the circular stamp - I have t seen this one before. Thanks for sharing!

I too am interested in the history of these pipes. Why would Peterson outsource to England? English-Irish relations have been pretty turbulent in history, so it does make me wonder. It's like Genod in France farming out a pipe series to Italy. Why would they do that?

Here’s another. This one is a Deluxe

Had a shop in London from 1895 until around 1960. Still made them in Ireland during that time.

I really want a Peterson army style pipe.

Obviously the metal on the stem let’s you take the stem out hot and clean it.

Without cracking.
