Getting rained out of work today Thought I would share my Sherlock Holmes collection and my two 4ABs. Left to right 1.) Deerstalker/sandblast. 2.) Handsome/rusticated. 3.) Mycroft/sandblast. 4.)Strand/sandblast. 5.)Squire/sandblast. 6.) Watson/sandblast 7.) Hudson/rusticated 8.)Baskerville/sandblast. 9.)Baker Street/sandblast 10.)Rathbone/sandblast. 11. & 12.) Heritage and PSB 4AB. I know that there are mixed feelings and opinions on the series, but I am happy with my collection. The only complaint, for me, would be the constant upkeep/ or polishing (they tarnish fast). And I wish the 4ABs came with an acrylic stem option. Happy smokes...View attachment 141961

I've recently added a Lastrade sandblast, a Professor heritage, and a XL11 Original shape heritage spigot to my Sherlock Holmes collection. Happy smokes and Happy Halloween weekend!

At one time the band was hold plate over sterling silver. Now the gold is wearing off and tarnish is showing through. I don’t have the heart to polish it.

A1?

These are all Petes. I have sold some of them and edited the Peterson collection down to 15 briars and 7 meers. The ones I have left are fine smokers. I recommend the natural finish with McConnell's Scottish Cake. If the pipe is made of very aged briar (some are, some are not) and well broken in it is a remarkable smoke.

How do you determine aged briar? I am assuming dead root is what you mean.

Yowza, that is incredible! Can you post a close-up of the nomenclature. That is a one-of-a-kind shape, by my experience.

Pipe arrived today. It is incredible! I almost don’t want to smoke it, almost. I still can’t believe the condition it’s in, a couple of tiny dings on the band but that’s it. Bone tenon extension still even unscrews. If it didn’t smell like it had been smoked it would think it hasn’t been. Came with a nice leather pouch too. Very, very happy!

Here’s a close up the nomenclature…

What an incredible Peterson find. I'd share that with Mark Irwin, I think he would love to see that one.

Looks good! Mine's on the way and I can't wait for it! This will be the most exciting pipe for me this year.

I took a picture of the PPN next to my Pub Pipe for a size comparison.

That's awesome! I love the look of the tapered stem vs the regular pub/deluxe style stem. It works really well on a pipe of that size

What's the size difference between the Pipe Notes and a house pipe?

 

[Nevaditude]

Ha! Great minds think alike!
It’s a beauty there next to my PubSetter! I was smoking Wilke PBC in the Pub when PPN arrived.

I received mine today. #23/90 It's my largest Peterson. It's been a long wait since it was first announced back in April, but well worth the wait. This may be my favorite Pete. Thanks Mark and everyone involved.

 

[Nevaditude]

Thank you Mark Irwin & everyone @Peterson who made this happen.I love the info packet that came with it. Thanks, happy #4/90 is my new smoking companion. 4 is favorite number. 4kids.

I don't know exactly? I don't have a house pipe, but the PPN pipe is described as a jumbo oversized house pipe.

Didn't even know about PPN. Wonderful looking pipes!

Pre-Republic Pete

 

[ashdigger]

Pre-Republic Shamrocks Carved Peterson System. This is factory carved.

The other is not a Pete but is from 1893 and research is ongoing because, oddly enough, it might have been carved in the factory even though the band is Adolph Posener.

 

[bullet08]

Peterson House Pipe.

 

[ssjones]

Man, Ash, how would you like to spend 30 minutes talking to the man that carved those pipes!
