Sterling wouldn’t necessarily have a hallmark. I’ll look in my book.
Here’s a few House Pipes (Eire) a 1923 Deluxe 0 and a Tomahawk (Made in Ireland - 1947-1949) with removable bowl.
Love that top center one. That looks more like a billiard than the current bent house pipe due to the curvier bottom.
Friends, can anyone help me reconcile this information about the Mark Twain pipe?
This first link says that the MT was issued in 1981, 1985, 2010-Present:
petersonpipenotes.org
But this catalog from 1988 shows the MT:
My initial guess was the pipe above was not a system hence being omitted from the first link but then I found this post below indicating it was in fact a system:
petersonpipenotes.org
So, was the MT available in the 1980s outside of '81 and '85 or not?
Bonus question: Are the pipes shown on the 1988 Hollco-Rohr catalog the full line of Peterson pipes available that year or only the ones that were distributed to the US? My guess is the latter as the first link mentions that the HAND-MADE XXL Bent Billiard was made from 1988-Present though it did not appear in the 1988 catalog.

228. Dating A Hollco-Rohr Catalog
With the prices on K&P estate pipes taking some big jumps in recent months, I thought it might be time to look at one of my favorite eras: the Late Republic (1969-1989), as seen in a Hollco-Roh…

I'm not in love with this release but that's definitely a charming pipe.
The other side of one of my professors.
If I didn’t marry into a family of Scottish pagans I would probably grab one of these. Anything St Patrick’s is suspect, any other day of the year it’s all Irish all the time.
I have a few new Pete’s to give to myself when I feel the urge. I gifted myself this little 304 for the shop this wknd. Smokes quite like my 314’s but sets nicely and waits for my return very well.
Just put away the chainsaw and enjoying it right now...

Ok, posting this for a little help. I'm browsing listings and see this. I've never seen this configuration. Is there something I don't know, or is the seller OBVIOUSLY trying to hide the problem here?
I thought I'd get the quickest and most knowledgeable replies here - so thank you.

KapMeer was a meerschaum lined Peterson line, that one has had a poorly executed tenon repair.
