I purchased the pipe from a seller in England who I purchased from before. He hit me up through a different pipe listing. I actually was shocked how low he sold it for so I bumped up the price.
I doubt I’ll be in the market just yet, and am really hoping they bring the Short Army’s out for another run someday.
You do have 1 of the nicest collections of old Petes I've seen.
Thanks for the notice!
Definitely interested, those 85 Apples look nice. Glad they went vulcanite

How does it smoke compared to the Plip?
I love the dracs. Just wrapping up this rack for a few of mine.

A 307 Laxey/Manx Pete meer that’s been, as @georged would say “oldified” with a 100% genuine imitation amber NAP AB stem.
I’ve got some catching up to do.
A cased pair from 1947-49 (late Pre-Republic)
A 1909 Patent System Bulldog that I made new stem and condenser for.
And a Patent 4B Deluxe that I also made a new stem and condenser for.

Had these four show up today. Oldest one is 1983, but nothing older than 1976.
Good to see you back sir!
This Dracula 221 was my first Peterson and it was so bad, it should have shut the door on any more. Within a couple of weeks, the briar had shrunk so much that the stem wiggled and, in fact, the bowl frequently fell off as I smoked. It's consequently very dinked. It gurgled like a drain from start to finish, it leaked, it was like an old steam engine due the cutter's torch - and eventually, I abandoned it.
I was contemplating disposal in the bin the other day but took a notion to check the current prices. Well, about €130 on the Peterson site. One last chance then. I redrilled the draught hole and flared it. Then I wrapped a layer of PTFE thread tape round the tenon and scraped the chamber. Then I loaded it with Brown Clunee and tested it. Oh, this is much better. Much, much better. Then I tried Cabbie's. Oh, it can handle Cabbie's when so many other pipes can't, well this is good. So now, definitely a keeper. A close shave.
