Yes!!! Stranger Danger! Let’s keep these Pete’s safe and in the family.Maybe let your forum friends know if y’all decide to sell some system pipes. We may want to try to keep the pipes in the family.
Deluxe systems are 1 of my favorite lines. I have 4 of them-20s, 11s, 9s, and 4s. The former 3 are smooth finished and the latter is blasted.Fun fact, I’m thinking of dumping a bunch of System pipes because I love the DeLuxe Systems so much too
I have 1. Love the shape and the chubbiness of it.Enough with all this positivity! Let's get negative!
What don't you like about Petes?
For me it's the fat, rounded shank/stem like on this Sherlock Holmes. It immediately turns me off.
I'm also not a big fan of the gap between the shank and stem in the system pipe. Looks incomplete to me.

The reverse, bottom, and front of the 9S is amazing, but I love the shape of the 4S.After today's restorations, I might have finally found a De Luxe system to call my ownthose two are one of the most stunning pipes I have ever had in my hands!

Dutch billiards are your favorite huh?…The reverse, bottom, and front of the 9S is amazing, but I love the shape of the 4S.
The Dutch Billiards are tops in my book!
Question: Were there pre-Republic rusticated system pipes?
Looks great! Are the pics of the dutch billiard all the same pipe? And what shape is the bent billiard?Yes. They were generally house pipes
Peterson did quite a bit of experimenting with rustication.

That 02AB is tres sexí!It’s an old 02. Those are all from the 30’s.
There are three pipes in the four pics. I was just speed grabbing photos.
