I also managed to get photos of the ephemera of the straight pipe from the series- at first glance it looks to me to be from the 70s

Well actually ... since its a rare pipe being only made for two years and is in very fine condition and is a Donegal Rocky old style ... I actually am a fan of it. I do think meerschaums produce hotter smoke however, not cooler like most. However I believe mine is earlier than yours. As I said the tenon goes directly into the briar 'wood' as in no reciprocal vulcanite or acrylic female liner part like yours :
My Peterson Meerschaum straight billiard is the same from the 60s-70s --- the 1-2 mm tenon goes directly into the meerschaum itself. Your tenons appear to be 3-4 mm but I am guessing based on the pics.

Here’s a Peterson meerschaum with Great Britain stamped on the stem. It’s got the reverse tennon.

It is correct, Manx/Laxey made loads of those and they all have that style tenon. The theory is that with tenon fixed there is no stress on the unmounted shank. It is 100% correct.
I took a close up photo that convinced me not to mess around with it
Also I a pipe cleaner goes smoothly and directly into the bow, so there is no well which further confirms that's how the pipe was designed
Also does anyone know why the pics look blurry until you click on them?I told my self I wasn’t going to do it… but then
I have always secretly made fun of people who would spend pipe amount of money on an empty pipe box or even worse - empty tobacco tins. Last week I did both of those things... I just felt compelled to complete the whole package for two pipes and here is the first one:
It probably has to do with how you uploaded them and they were processed as attachments that must be clicked on to view. If you use the little square icon with two mountain peaks in it, the pictures should appear inline with your text and display crisply.
Thanks I would have never figured that out
That pipe is a thing of pure beauty
What do you guys think of the 2025 Christmas Pipes? As an owner of a gorgeous 2024 Christmas Pipe I have to say that I'm underwhelmed with the 2025 versions?
Since you asked, not my cup of tea. I am not a fan of the rustication being done at Peterson these days. I did like the look of the Cobble pipes when they came out and was hoping they would have used that technique instead of the rustication.What do you guys think of the 2025 Christmas Pipes?

I’m pretty disappointed. I look forward to Christmas releases each year but the rusticated looks rough. Pun intendedWhat do you guys think of the 2025 Christmas Pipes? As an owner of a gorgeous 2024 Christmas Pipe I have to say that I'm underwhelmed with the 2025 versions?
This specific one looks to me was rusticated by letting some squirrels chew on it for a bit... For anyone who likes it I apologize - I am not a native English speaker and what I meant to say is that it is a gorgeous pipe
I’m not a fan. Tbh I’m not a fan of Peterson’s rusticated finish in general. I don’t like the look nor the way it feels in the hand. I do dig the stain and copper tho.What do you guys think of the 2025 Christmas Pipes? As an owner of a gorgeous 2024 Christmas Pipe I have to say that I'm underwhelmed with the 2025 versions?
