The auld Peterson hallmark issue

[LiamClanNastey]

I guess it’s fleabay. Peterson did point me at their .eu site.

I’m confused by the question. Are you saying you have a Peterson pipe with 1960 London hallmarks? If so, I’d love to see it.

No. But I’d like to find one…

I have no idea why cased sets resonate so strongly in my nicotine-stained heart, only that they do. :lol: This companion pair was made (I think, anyway--corrections encouraged) in the 1950's or 60's. The English influence is strongly present in the button design... they are curved, a la...

This companion pair came from the same original owner as the other one, and was also unsmoked & uncarried. It just sat in a trunk (or wherever) waiting for the day its destiny could be realized. :puffy: Funny bit: I only noticed the crack in the Prince's shank on screen when cropping the...

A great buy. They look amazing. Not heard the phrase “Cabinet Queen” before. I doubt I’ll get to that stage

I inherited England Made Peterson's from my Grandfather who died in 1965, this sparked my interest in them, well before the internet I would go to jumble sales and second-hand shops, I did pick up a lot of Dublin made but London made were very common here in England in the 70's and 80's, they are a lot harder to find nowadays even with the internet, the main problem is that people not in the know selling pipes rarely state country of origin, just that it is Peterson and assume that it is Irish.
