Nice pipe. Thought you bought this year's POTY. I take it you weren't impressed upon receipt.

I bought one and gave it away. I didn’t care for anything about it.
It's been a few years since I gazed upon my Petes. I have a lot of polishing to do, I discovered. Anyhow, here they are:
Gold Spigot ^
Next are my two Made in Ireland pipes and one Irish Free State pipe
Then my Amber stem spigot
I am also partial to my James Fox 135th anniversary Pete 150 which is still the good shaped 150.
And my Pete meer, which looks to be pub sized, though I dont have a pub pipe for comparison. It's a lot bigger than an 03 Dracula.
I love Pete's, but I love a lot of pipe brands, so I am proud of the pipes I have gotten for my collection.
Edit. Almost forgot. That's a fatty original 999 made in Ireland.
And the Samhain.

Buying a brand new modern pipe is a very rare event event for me, but come one i just had to. This 03 Rua spigot is almost perfect- the only thing that would have made it better is if it had the older spigot stem design - vulcanite, slim and flavored shoulders
If you haven't gazed at them in a few years, guess you haven't smoked them for that long unless you smoke with your eyes closed.
Too bad, if so, as you have some beauties.I honestly haven't smoked any of those in about 3 years. 70% of my smoking is done with cobs because they are easy and I wouldn't care if they broke (farm life). The rest what I can reach that is nearby. A couple meers, a couple comoys. If I go back to the rack of pipe cases, it's anyone's guess what I pick. Right now I am working my way through my Estellas. I am also going to work in my 2 Nordings, to honor Mr. Nording's retirement. Then maybe my Petes.If you haven't gazed at them in a few years, guess you haven't smoked them for that long unless you smoke with your eyes closed.
A fun size DeLuxe 12 1/2s joins the club
What a beauty
Peterson Red Spigot 150 that arrived last week and smoked today. Made and drilled very well and smokes with an easy draw.
Early republic 120 straight system
I was looking for my box of churchwardens for another post and found more Petersons!
'16, '17, and '18 Christmas 03's; 2 Pete Sterling Silvers, another fatty OG 999, and a terrific Dunmore

The straight lines Made in England and rugby Made in England come to mind but are there others?

Go to Pipedia and search for dating a Peterson.
The Rugby made in England is 30-40’s and straight lines are 50’s

Also, I was told privately I was incorrect. That’s actually horseshit.
Made in England (Rugby) is from the London factory that produced the highest grade “System 0”, later the Supreme Grade.
Every one of my 119 System O is Made in England (Rugby).
All the System 2, 3, 4, 5 are stamped an iteration of Ireland
Here’s a 306 which the catalogs list as ending production in 1937. Last I checked 1937 was in the 30’s. I don’t know. Call me crazy.

Yep, they are referred to as COM stamps.
Also Great Britain Stamps were almost exclusively from the 60’s
