I love that older style Peterson rustication. I’m a fan of the new style as well when done in a visually organic way, but that old pebble style just looks so natural.

I like your background too!

I’m a big 20s fan. Where did you get the B style tapered replacement stem? Very cool.
Thanks! Petersons themselves, will change the stem for you (at extra cost). I didn’t ask for a tapered stem but after I sent my pipe they messaged me back saying they could do a vulcanite replacement but it could only be tapered, not the original saddle. Maybe they’re phasing out the older saddles & larger gap in favour of tapered & reduced gap fitting stems on all the De Luxe shapes? Who knows, either way I’m happy.

Interesting! Makes it almost look like a miniature Mark Twain 14B :) Thank you for the information!

I have two of the Peterson Shorts (Rusticated versions with Fishtail stems) -- a Bulldog (shape 150) and Zulu (shape 268). Both pipes smoke great and have nice texture and "feel" in the hand. Most of the time (when smoking contemplatively at home ) I reach for my Dunhills or one of my Andreas Bauer meers, but when I am traveling or engaged in any active outdoors activity it's these two Petersons that are my companions...

Nice! I've got three shorts and love them - great on a road trip or a walk out in the wild - fit nicely anywhere. My Arklow 127 is almost a "short" - it's pretty compact and serves the same purposes.

Yes, love the Shorts-- they really are super handy. May have to consider getting another! :)

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.
K&P 208
1307
Kapruf 56

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.

Just got a box with some old pipes yesterday, and I was asking myself is that one a Peterson or not. It’s got the p-lip and the additional chamber in the shank. But no army mount or silver cap, no P logo on the stem, the stamping almost washed away. Then I saw yours right now. What is yours? A kapruf? When was it produced? Take a look at mine.
