Dripping alcohol around the stummel may remove some stain.
So I don't recommend you do that

So I don't recommend you do that
Sorry, I meant at the connection between the stummel and stem. There is no wood there. If concerned about stain, tilt the stem end down slightly.
Curse you for triggering my PAD? Fortunately didn’t see this til today, and there are none available ?Though I did put in an alert for an 05 If another becomes available.
I just got this pipe recently, yesterday I finally got around to preparing it for smoking. It didn’t really need much, mostly just some cleaning.
I like plain, classic shaped pipes (usually) and this one fits right in. As soon as I figure out what I want to smoke, I’m going to put this pipe into use.
For those that care about such things, it is a Killarney Natural, a Peterson Product. Shape 606, made in London England. Based on my on research and the help of others here, it seems to be from the 50s.
One question, did Peterson have a name for this metal tube, or is it just considered another type of stinger?

The Killarney 'Natural' is a great pipe - I grab them any time I see a decent deal.
Yes, 1950's - perhaps older. I don't know if the Peterson tube had a name.
Nice! I don’t think it’s functionally a stinger, more line Dunhill’s inner tube. Don’t know if it has a name but I think I have one on one of my grandfather’s pre-republic deluxes - a straight pot.
I have run across a few of them in Petersons. Most recently, in a late 1930's-early 1940's bent rustic.
I happened to be up a little after midnight on Friday morning when the new rusticated Emerald P-lip series went live at Smoking Pipes and ordered a 150. It arrived this morning. Beautiful pipe. Looking forward to enjoying a bowl later this afternoon.
Nice pipe. I almost ordered a 150.
I started a Peterson's Emerald thread last week. I ordered this 104 on Friday.
Should arrive tomorrow. My first P-lip...looking forward to it.
There is a maker with a last name of Johnson.
Please don’t start that thread….?

I've been in touch with Mark Irwin, and he told me my pipe is from the last run done in the '70s or early '80s, so a good number of years after 1963. He's helped me date a couple of other Petersons, but, also within a date range, which is still awesome, because it's more than I could've pinpointed on my own.
Just received my Peterson Dracula 125th Anniversary pipe in the mail today
I just bought this Sherlock Holmes PSB Rathbone tonight. Looking forward to getting it here. 
After I remove the nasty bowl coating, I plan on filling it with a nice Virginia or VaPer.

Have been tempted by the Rathbone in the past. Don't get the hate for the bowl coating. Don't even notice it when I first light up a new pipe-last new one bought was over a year ago, though.
All the newer Peterson's I have bought I definitely notice it. I never did anything about it in the past, though. Just smoked through it. I'm glad you don't notice it. To me it just makes it taste funky for a long time.
Figure I'd share the Petersons on MY collection. The first two I inherited from my great grandmother, and the Kaprue I found at a thrift store.

What's interesting is that the 1 in 1307 designates it as a pipe sold in Canada. Same with the model 56 which was sold exclusively in a Montreal store.

Refill on the margarita and in a bit the new Peterson 80S Short fresh from the Peterson’s shop on Nassau. Great to be home and a beautiful evening on the deck.
