PETERSON 1974 DELUXE CHUBBY BENT BILLIARD SHAPE 11S ESTATE PIPE W/STERLING | eBay
It's one of those shapes that exudes Peterson's "House" style with chubby proportions throughout. The bowl is beautifully tapered with thick walls and a chamfered rim opening to a healthy sized chamber.

Looks nice but I’ve noticed this seller hasn’t shown the hallmarks on a number of his Petes.Not mine, but I was watching this on

Ive bought a few from him. They have all been great pipes and real showcase items.
Oh, I’ve been satisfied with the few purchases I’ve snagged over the years. I believe his reputation is sound, but you’d definitely wanna see those hallmarks for sure.

I have a couple of them. A black standard sandblasted one and this one, which started as a Heritage finish. These are among my best smoking Petersons.
I'd gotten my only 11s off the Bay over a decade ago. All 4 of my deluxe system pipes are hallmarked to the 70's. Haven't perused the Bay in over a decade but way back when, deals were common. Never paid more than $100-got them all off the Bay-for any of them and 1 went for $49. All in great shape too.Not mine, but I was watching this on

The 2021 POTY was the one pipe I wanted the most, I was actively looking at a bunch of sites daily for over a year for one. It is my favourite Peterson shape and I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes so that was also a part of it.
Thats the same reason I'm been on the hunt for one.
I was curious about it but went more than I was interested in spending at the moment in time - because I've got too many pipes right now...Not mine, but I was watching this on

I'll keep an eye out for you guys!
You could all always take the easy route and have an AB stem made for a 309, I know it's not the same as having an 'actual' 4AB, but it might be quicker and cheaper. Funnily enough, we have some great stem-makers on the forum, naming no names...

I felt the same way. I love my 2021 POTY - I have a Heritage and a Terracotta - but they are not replicas of the 4AB. Peterson always modernizes their recreations of old shapes, and this one is no different: the stem is much too wide approaching the bit, as is the bit, the stummel shape is off, and the ferrule is way too flat. But it's still one of my favorite Petersons.
I mention the above because if you really want something close to Rathbone's 4AB, it's definitely do-able: find a 1940's - 1950's 309 on ebay and have someone make you a correct AB stem.
