The shit we do sometimes, eh?
Comparison of my older Pete 309 System, and the new 309 System.
Gorgeous. My two vintage 309s are much the worse for wear compared to yours!
However I did just finally obtain a buffer, so we shall see what the future brings as my amateur pipe restoration setup improves.
I know many prefer the older, longer stems; but I'm one that prefers the newer, shorter. Fit's me needs better.
Both look very nice.

So, this is my first-ever pipe, a simple but pretty little "Filter" 65, a gift from an Irish uncle on my 18th birthday:
Since this clearly doesn't hold a 9mm filter, I believe it's from the 1980s Filter line, which apparently featured a "triple groove air filter", according to the book also pictured. Other descriptions fit, but 6mm adapters don't, and 6mm balsa filters get shaved down a bit when inserted. Is my pipe missing a condenser-type filter that was originally installed, or was there a special filter cartridge Peterson sold that was a little under 6mm? Does anyone know more about that line?

A Pre-Republic Circle COM Pete 314 I just picked up.
It’s in really good shape. The nomenclature is quite thin, but I guess that’s to be expected.
The stem didn’t seat to my liking, so I smoothed out the taper. Seats better now.
Quite small. Kind of like my deluxe 20s.

1981 Mark Twain 181/400 freshly back from Peterson with a new stem and finish.
Finally landed a smooth Dracula B10. Also got a B stem made for my 11s. Closest thing I'll get to Einsteins Pete.
There's even a Dark Smooth Lestrade I could get, but I find the stem way too long.
It looks out of balance. Too bad.

Birth year model 69. Been looking for a long time for one of these. Thanks to a great member here!
That video is so cool. Thank you for sharing. Post some pictures of what you pick up while you’re in Dublin. I’m sure you won’t come back empty handed lol.
Love the new stem in the 11s!
