I have the same Pete 80S Short in a smooth finish and love the stubby lines.
So much so I sold my Irish Harp 80S as it wasn't getting the same love ?

Here’s a Patent System from 1914. It was sold in Paris at a tobacconist
Here’s my 1911 Peterson Patent Calabash that was extensively reworked. Both ends of the stem are now Cumberland, but the center is the original Amber
I own 30 Petersons but owning at least one Patent era pipe would be an honor...Sweet pipe!
Tim,
So pleased that there is someone like you dedicated enough to preserve a piece of history where a lesser person would chuck it in the trash can.
And more importantly there is someone like Ryan Alden who is skilled enough to take this on in a sensitive manner - preserving what can be preserved, and not detracting from the original.
Kudos to you both ???
Arrived today.

I have a 1907 French Brevet Peterson that was sold at the same shop. Interesting to see that the same shop sold both 'Patent' and 'Brevet' Petersons!

I only have one Pete, though I've had a few in the past. Being me, it's a Hungarian.
That's a tall Dutch. This Shamrock '02' that arrived yesterday is the closest I think Peterson gets to a Hungarian:
The original Oom Paul was a Peterson. It caused a bit of stir, but gave Peterson brand recognition.
Here’s an example of size.
Three Pete’s. One Modern Sandblasted House Pipe, One Smooth Pub Pipe and a Made In England (Football Shape) 1920-30’s Size “0” Oversize.

I'm fairly sure the Oom Paul/Hungarian was around before K&P Peterson existed.
At bottom right is my 1904 'O2' (not a zero) gi-normous Peterson that was similar to one Charles Peterson smoked. To the left of it is a 'normal' house pipe, with a 309 at the far left, for reference. The two on the second row are the 2021 POY (similar to the 4AB).
That '01' is on my short-list of Petes to acquire. I'll gladly trade you an '02' narrow
Here's a link to the story. Peterson Oom-Paul – Peterson Pipe Notes - https://petersonpipenotes.org/tag/peterson-oom-paul/
Yes, I've read that. There are other histories of the 'Hungarian' out there, unrelated to Peterson. Some say (and it makes sense to me) that the Hungarian shape was around for a while before they became a favorite of soldiers during the Boer Wars.
Here is a 'Hongroise' I own:
Peterson 9BC pipes
Just got the 'Sterling' finished yesterday, so thought I'd do a 'family' photo. Top is an early Shamrock, followed by a later Shamrock, then the Sterling at bottom. The Sterling has a thinner stem and the shank does not get thinner at the bowl, as in the Shamrocks. If not for a couple of pits, the Shamrock at top has the nicest wood of the three.

Well, boys, I have an addition to my Sherlock Holmes collection. I've been eyeing the Hansom for quite some time and I now realize why I hadn't pulled the trigger until now.
Really can't wait to smoke this one.

Great blast and shape on that one.
I picked up a Professor from SmokingPipes.EU
I really like the colors of this line.
That's a good looking pipe you have on the way. I think my next SH purchase will be the Professor.
Both really nice looking pipes. Enjoy them. I wanted to purchase one but I've purchased 10 Peterson's this year and I need to hold off for the CPG Peterson.
