Nice looking Pipe Chris. Peterson did a great job with the 2016 Christmas Pipe. They didn't make it in the XL 21 so instead I bought a Derry A1. It's like a mini XL 21. The shape is XL 21 the size is 150.
This is a Deluxe System XL 5s; a 9mm w/p-lip. I am not a fan of the 05 shape, although I have a couple: they a small and heat up to hot, without much provocation.
The XL 5 is truly large and thick-bowled. As with a couple other "space-fitting" designs I have, the stem portion is also large and heavy.

The Peterson 05, the shape of the original Sherlock Holmes Series pipe, is much smaller and lighter that this XL 5. As far as heat goes, the whole 05 just about starts glowing and I have to hold it by the stem! It is a tiny pipe.
The pipe (top) is the XL 5, so an extra large 05; the darker and noticeably smaller one is the 05.

Got my 2017 Peterson Pipe of the Year today: 5" long & 9mm; from James Fox of Dublin.
From Mark Irwin's page, we know this is a Peterson shape from the 1906 catalog.

I've been eyeing those, Snowy! I don't buy many straight pipes, but I liked the look of those on first sight. I hope to have one soon myself. Let us know how it smokes, and enjoy the heck out of it!
Nice job on that 999, Dave. Enjoy the heck out of it!

1979 Peterson 05s: a bent acorn shape & 9mm.
I was curious why this 05 had a Kirk Douglas kind of a chin instead of rounded, so I asked Mark Irwin [petersonpipenotes.wordpress.com] for his thoughts:
"Yes indeed, this is a lovely little piece. The original 05 Dublin shape was only in production from 1979 to 1984 or so as part of the new set of System shapes introduced at that time. It was also made in an XL size, appeared as the Dunmore XL75 and the XL305 (maybe even an XL315 stamp in the U.S.).
It's got a V-shaped chamber typical of Dublin bowls, and my XL75 performs very well, requiring few relights. I haven't smoked my smaller 305 Dublin enough to make meaningful comment, but I think it will smoke as well as the larger version.
The shape was replaced by the 305 Calabash in 1984 because customers were complaining that the System reservoir wasn't working properly. I like the new shape, but the original smokes better, in my opinion.
The Sterling Silver line is, of course, a great line."

I just found this thread and I have multiple Petes! So many beautiful ones just going back a few pages here.
My latest, a 1974 Sterling Shape 69.
I missed a hallmarked 9BC on Monday night that went for a fair price.
