Well in less than two weeks I went from 0 Republic era pipes to 3 . I’ve made no secret about the 9 being one of my favorite shapes, I’m on a mission to get all the various configurations of the 9. I can check one of them off my list now. The System Standard XL307, this mid to late Republic ought to clean up nicely. I really like the stem on this one, the flare is very low slung in relation to the shank cap giving it a fuller look. I’ll post more pics one it shows up and I get it all cleaned up.

I just might be "watching" some of the same pipes you're purchasing...
They always go for "less" when I don't bid, and "more" when I do. Go figure.

Do we need to coordinate? Flip a coin and see who bids?

Already signed up for the Pete Geek pipe to add to my 20 or so various Petes I already have. Some I'm saving new to give to myself in the future whenever I feel like it. That one will join them.

Here’s two Pete’s for the stable.

The first is a 1918 Peterson System (2)



This is a 1923 Deluxe with Orific Bit. The silver band is for a very small bowl crack

This picture shows Peterson made some big ass briar on the regular

The center and pipe on the right are both from 1923

All 3 are beauties! How’s that big 23 compare to a modern house/pub?

Here the big 23 on the right. On the left is a modern house pipe. Top center is a house pipe from 1998 and bottom center is 1923.

I've yet to see Mark post info on exactly what pipe it is you'd get, only info on "pieces" of it. So, it seemed to be a bit of a "pig in the poke" to sign up to buy a pipe that you have not even seen yet.

I posted a pic of a pretty specific drawing I pulled off his page, so not just pieces - having signed up, you have no obligation to buy so no element of risk at all, just reserving a pipe if you decide you want one.

Yep, if you don't want it, someone else will.

Quoting myself, lol, just to show the PPN CPG '23 pic again as an FYI. If you go to the 6/4 notes you can see pics of bowls and stems in production, looks fairly fully realized, IMO.

Is that a 4 shape? I think he mentioned it’ll come with a BC stem.

I’m hoping one day we get a 14BC as a PPN (or otherwise).

Unlikely since the 14B was the PPOY last year.

And maybe the pic is more tease than actual - he hasn’t really said.

Maybe I should be careful suggesting that pic is “it”!

Yeah definitely. I meant something like PPN 2030 or anytime before I die

I felt I had enough information, current and of previous editions, to feel confident I would appreciate a limited edition (stamped, anyway) Peterson pipe. And as stated, they get sold due to demand beyond the initial request and run.

Got my XL307 cleaned up today. It was in nearly flawless shape but it was absolutely filthy. The previous owner had kept the cake very nearly trimmed and very even but the well was nearly full of gunk. This leads me to believe it was a great smoker and will continue to be so. I did a salt treatment on it to get the ghost out of the cake but only trimmed the cake up. It was to beautifully caked to ream back to bare wood. I used a little carbon off on the rim to get rid of the lava. This was otherwise a standard clean up.

This is a great comparison to see the various versions of the 9 shape. I think I would rank the shapes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd from top to bottom, respectively. Before seeing this picture I thought the 9BC was clearly better than the modern 9 but side by side they are closer than I would’ve thought.
