This is absolutely impossible for me to do... I could tell you what my 10 number one Petes are...

Your #2 is a pub pipe is it not? That's my #3/4, (an oak finish) as it's sort of tied with my rusticated 2015 Founder's edition, another Hungarian.
Is that the condenser it came with? That's pretty sweet! Looks like it might be brass.
I find it funny how I can’t resist an old Pete, but modern ones, even if rare and limited feel not so special in comparison… the other pipes from that lot are the best example for that
I feel seen!… ok if the the shape is 999, 03 or an 80s I will find a modern pipe intriguing as well…
Amazing collection Manny!Gave some of my Pete’s a good wipe down from summer use. View attachment 416534View attachment 416535View attachment 416536View attachment 416537View attachment 416538

Yes. It is a pub pipe.Your #2 is a pub pipe is it not? That's my #3/4, (an oak finish) as it's sort of tied with my rusticated 2015 Founder's edition, another Hungarian.
It’ is. Another Peterson owner thought it may be aftermarket. But I’m not sure. Still doing my research on it.Is that the condenser it came with? That's pretty sweet! Looks like it might be brass.
Also it's crazy that in 1975 they didn't know when Peterson started but I guess it's fair since they'd been around over 100 years and everything was on paper.
By the way, can someone tell me when the name went from Kapp & Peterson to mainly Peterson?
When it comes to the little Pete's, you my friend stay on your side of the ocean on ebay!The top one is a Peterson Sportsman 68 (one of my new favorites)
And the one below is a Outdoor Series 407
I really enjoy finding the little Pete’s they smoke way better than people give credit.
The one at the top is a Peterson Patent another little guy. All three great smokers View attachment 416599View attachment 416600View attachment 416601View attachment 416602View attachment 416603

Ive got two of the original racks, one filled with the first year releases of each pipe in matching finishes and the other one with variois finishes.Beautiful. Will you go for matching finishes? And do you have the original rack?
This rack will have a hodge podge of finishes as ive got a Rathbone in rusticated, a Barley Milverton and a Hansom in terracotta already. Maybe one day I'll fill it with matching pipes.

I need some friends like that!A friend of mine was nice enough to send me this rack. Now to fill it up with the matching pipes.

Big fan of the Newgrange line and B10.Well, after a little research, i settled on another Newgrange. This time the B10 in stead of the XL90.

Length: 5.47 in./138.94 mm.
Weight: 1.70 oz./48.19 g.
Bowl Height: 1.90 in./48.26 mm.
Chamber Depth: 1.57 in./39.88 mm.
Chamber Diameter: 0.76 in./19.30 mm.
Outside Diameter: 1.60 in./40.64 mm.
Respectable length, light weight, bowl height - chamber depth ratio shows decent wood on bottom and i dig the thicker rim on this than the XL90. After settling on the model and then checking websites and calling retailers i settled on a brand spanky one. Now i'm done buying pipes for a while. I think...
Oh, and i dig the acrylic stem. I know some prefer rubber; to each their own. Just an ease of maintenance thing for me, really. And i only clench P/T, so no biggie on the teeth.
