C&D Odessa in a Peterson Aran #69 Smooth Bent Billard with a glass of water.
Gawith Cabbies in the '34 Barlings Make S-M.
C&D Virginia Flake in an old Peterson.
This is a pipe I received from an old timer on the old Smokers Forum in about 2008 or so.
He had told me that the pipe was from 1936.
I had no idea how he knew that because Peterson pipes are difficult to date. Pretty easy to find the Era, but near impossible to find an exact date.
When I inquired about this, he said he talked to the "experts" who narrowed it to 1935 to 1940. He was born in 1936, so, that was the date of this pipe.
Im kind of a fan of a pipes history, so I began my own research.
NONE of the internet sites had much info.
Pipephil and writings by Loring gave the same dates of 1935-1940.....most likely.
The nomenclature on this pipe is VERY faint, but legible with a flashlight and loop. I very rarely clean this pipe on the outside due to this. I am hoping that eventually someone will have more information. Here is what gives everyone fits.......the nomenclature.
One side has. LONDON MADE
ENGLAND
The other side has. Petersons
LONDON&DUBLIN
To the left of...... LONDON MADE there is 120P
First of all, London & Dublin is odd, usually its the other way.....Dublin &London.
Then the 120P was "never" used......apparently.
120F was used pre-Republic on this shape, a Dublin, with a flat stem, this pipe has a round stem.
The only guess from the "experts" was that the P might mean P-lip.
Who knows. I should have put this in a new thread, but......

Thanks. That is actually a Missouri Meerschaum from a seven day second bag I got years ago. I stained it with black, ox blood and cordovan sanding lightly between coats and ox blood on the rim. It came out speckled. Same for the other cob except I just used ox blood. I did these during covid, piddling around. This is a closer pic.
Tended the garden while smoking Puget Sound.
11 year old GLP Triple Play in a rusticated Willmer Lumberman.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2010 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Red Sox game.
The Sutliff jar in the background which is in most of my pics holds two pounds, you read that correctly, two pounds of Match RR. I kept pressing it in and now I have a solid cake of Match RR. A little bit will dry off of the top so I open the jar, tip it over and it's just enough to pack a bowl.
I had to google the movement you refer to, and find it unfortunate that you assume either a properly flown US flag or a Washington’s Cruisers banner is something in reference to latest news cycle and offensive.
I was exposed to the inspirations and guiding philosophic influences (including Locke) on those that stood against tyranny to found my beloved nation and our freedoms by Jesuits in grade school going on fifty years ago now, not any BS social (or other) media “us vs. them” shell game.
If the comment is a true admonishment, I understand this forum is a private entity and will act accordingly.
That being said, I would implore you to be even-handed with such. I’ve scrolled right past images that are ok with the “I support the current thing” movement that I could deem offensive-had I not learned long ago that it would be my duty to lay down my life to defend the thoughts and freedoms of my fellows, especially those that may not mesh with my views.
Had I made derogatory, demeaning, or rude personal comments towards any member regarding their beliefs or ideas I would expect to be called out.
Now I shall go christen my new AND mini-meer with some GH&Co Dark Birds Eye.
Cheers!
McCranies Red Flake from a Stefan Cashwell sandblast. Enjoyed with a cap and some light reading 
LTF in a brand new General. The flash did weird things to the picture, there is a stem on it.
Low Country Edisto from May 2022 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Also, it was cigar time earlier. H Upmann by AJ Fernandez

Interesting and great how you transformed it ..... gives me an idea for a project. Thanks for the reply because I couldn't find it online !
Fine looking coffee there too!
@keith929 - saw last month you were smoking some Five O'Clock Shadow. What do you think of it? I've been smoking Navigator & Doblone d'Oro that both have Kentucky.
Decided to play around with coloring this new Dulger meer. Making progress. 20th bowl in 3 days. lol
This round is Murray's Erinmore Mixture.
