@ashdigger those are stunning. AP did some silver work for Peterson around that time didn’t he? Also, I’m curious to hear whether you find out if Peterson “outsourced” or purchased these carved briars from cottage industries like the bog oaks.

The first post about the idea of a CPG PPN commemorative pipe was back in April when Mark requested an email from those who were interested.The conversation started on Mark Irwin's Peterson Pipe Notes blog.

It's been a long wait since it was first mentioned, but the wait was worth it.

Similar, but different. I can see some awesome blast in PPN. Great choice.
I remember seeing his mark on that patent era gourd calabash back in July. I have the old auction link but the item is no longer visible
Sort of chin hanger season started. So, my smaller one. SH Baskerville natural finish P-lip. I think this was my very first natural finish. It didn't show any coating and looks sort of muddy as it aged. But the later natural finish seemed to have clear coating on them and although they changed color, no muddy look. But now this pipe looks fine. I guess I'm used to it. Smokes great.
The PPN is essentially a pub pipe. I own both a pub pipe and a bent house pipe. I'd say the house pipe is somewhat bigger.
Thank you.
I'm in the market for a house pipe while I read on weekend mornings. I think I'd prefer a house pipe over a pub pipe for this purpose.
I found some specs elsewhere and agree, the PPN pipe is similar to the pub pipe, but a great deal and nice looking specimen. The tapered stem is unique.
Here’s a picture showing House and Pub pipes. The first two on the left are House Pipes. Then there’s a Pub pipe and finally a Pre-Republic “0”
The smaller pipe is also “0”
You have a beautiful pipe collection (both here and posted in other threads). Your Peterson collection is too notch and the older pipes look fantastic (even with the updated stems).
I appreciate the size comparison. It really helps to visualize the various differences.
Those are original stems. Just cleaned up.
But thank you. I worked hard on my collection.
Thanks mate.
I took your suggestion and contacted Mark to see if he could tell me anymore about the pipe. He seemed quite impressed.
After contacting the store where I acquired it from to see if they could add any info, Mark has said he will create a post about the pipe on his blog. Nothing groundbreaking but a cool little story.
I sent him some more pics so any he doesn’t use I will add to this thread after his blog post.
Cheers.
Oh shit...even @ashdigger is transitioning now. This place is getting mighty progressive for a pipe forum.
Forgive the technical talk, but that is one bad motherfucker.
