And the stamping. Seriously, some of the stamping was really crap. I know I've read that stamping is difficult, but when you pay good money...
What really gets me is when there's an estate Pete on SP and they have the balls to say: "Stamping worn from buffing". Seriously, that's an insult to the customer in my opinion. They should be honest and say: "half-assed stamping direct from factory". :ROFLMAO: And I say this as a lover or Petersons.

The site pics are better than mine. It came last night and I snapped a couple today at lunch.
One thing - I really wish they would at least stamp the year on these limited releases.

I prefer outside lighting but this was what I was able to get with limited time right now.

Jon, Do you see those six little airholes on the upper left of the bowl ? My Pete Pub #1 second has developed a few of those ... is that something to worry about or think about filling or just let it go ?? One or two of mine seem to release heat but only for the minute or two the ember passes by inside. Just curious as to your opinion on this. Is it natural to the sandblast finish on most Petes or was it just missed areas ? Thanks !

alright fess up, which of you lucky dogs got a smooth ppn? i slipped and didn't place till 0730 and missed out. Congrats to the owners, they look great!
Same. I ordered at 5 am and was told I was in to 70s already. But I was driving from 8pm to 4am and was focused on not falling asleep and dying. I guess that's a small consolation... Very small.
