Show Off Your Petersons Here!

[RustiePyles CPG]

Acquired this Aran 10 Canadian in a pretty sad state. The Pompeiian amount of lava indicates that the tenon was snapped off in the pyroclastic flow. The 10 seems to have a shorter shank than the 264 while having a substantially chubbier bowl. The rustication coupled with the shorter shank and chunkier proportions give this pipe a much more Italian feel than a typical Peterson. I replaced the broken tenon with a black delrin tenon, cleaned/de-lava-ed, and polished it up.

I recently picked up this Shamrock 936 on eBay. There is some thought that these are lesser seconds pipes. This one is stamped: Made in (over) Ireland. According to pipepedIa that dates it to the late 1940s. It looks pretty good to me. Although I admit that the finish is dark and rather thick. There could be some clever fills in there someplace. The band is nickel.

I have a Shamrock x69 that has some of the better grain I have seen, and not a fill in sight.

I grabbed this Baker street in Barley from SP in the estate section last night for a price that seemed in error. I think its unsmoked

Shamrocks in the 30’s & 40’s were a line just like any other line. They weren’t seconds, they were just a middle of the road line of smooths. They were made for the US market. They were originally made exclusively for Roger’s imports, the U.S. importer of Peterson’s. There original cost bares out their place in the lineup of that time. In 1939 Deluxes were $12, Systems $6, and Shamrocks $3.50 they were not even the cheapest smooths, Captain Pete’s and Crydons were $1 with more lines filling out the lower end closer to $1.

Peterson has so many great shapes that need to come back. I’d imagine they’d still have the old shape cutters (fraisers?), no?

What’s the length, height, weight on this guy? Also, this is the rustication that they need to bring back, not to mention anything about this glorious shape.

Are there errors/typos in the descriptions/measurements ? Each one seems to be a different size width and depth ... one I looked at lists a 27mm depth on a 63mm pipe ???

The few with the 27 mm must be mistakes - most are showing at around 47-48 mm. One of mine was just about 46 mm, the other just about 49 mm.

Length: 5.99 in. | 152 mm

[Sobrbiker]

I was tempted to grab a natural rusticated, but the 09BB isn’t my bag…

 

[FLDRD]

So much for the 6pm Eastern time drop.

I was lucky to see that I had an email, and had some time to act on it. Was all prepped for later...

Did anyone notice that lots of them had chamber dimensions that were quite small in the listing? Mine was listed at an expected size; the others must have been mistakes for sure:

• Chamber Depth: 1.52 in./38.61 mm.
• Chamber Diameter: 0.42 in./10.67 mm.

Vs mine:

• Chamber Depth: 1.82 in./46.23 mm.
• Chamber Diameter: 0.78 in./19.81 mm.

Well this sucks.
