Enjoy it when it is done Irish.

Gotta love them Pete System pipes! I find that cleaning them up is a lot of fun especially when you see what they looked like when you started!

@kabong30 cleaning them up is awesome! This ones bowl was almost closed off from cake build up!

The 303 system is great pipe. I think you will enjoy smoking that Pete at least as much as doing the restore. Can't wait to see the after pics.

I've already got one 303 and I love it! That's why I pulled the trigger on this one!

 

[irishsmoker]

I got her cleaned up!

It's got some nice grain!

 

[irishsmoker]

One side says K&P Peterson, the other side I can't quite make out. I will find the magnifying glass tomorrow!

 

[kabong30]

The stem looks amazing! What are you using to clean those up?

 

[irishsmoker]

I didn't notice any hallmarks its banged up. It looks on the up and up!

@kabong bleach soak, 1000 grit sandpaper, then micromesh, and an olive oil polish.

@herbinedave on the left side it says Peterson system standard. On the right there's a rectangle stamp that says made in the republic of Ireland.

 

[irishsmoker]

It's very odd that's for sure.

Great work restoring that Peterson pipe! Looks wonderful. Let us know how it smokes!
