Peterson pipes generally need no introduction, but just in case you’re unfamiliar: in 1876, a Latvian named Charles Peterson immigrated to Ireland and was hired making pipes in a workshop owned by Frederick and George Kapp. After rising through the ranks to become head craftsman, Peterson bought into the Kapp’s business, which was renamed, Kapp & Peterson (K&P). During this time, Peterson himself applied for several patents for pipe designs, including the world-famous Peterson’s System. Since then, Peterson has become one of the most recognizable names in pipe smoking and continues to produce high quality pipes from their headquarters in Dublin.

Speaking of Peterson’s System, this pipe is an example of exactly that. What looks like a simple, bent billiard – or perhaps an Oom Paul – hides within its shank a reservoir for collecting moisture produced during the smoke. This one is an example of Peterson’s “303” bent apple, which is something of a flagship shape for the make’s System pipes. Interestingly, the stain on this Peterson is a lot lighter than modern System Standards are, which gives the pipe a chance to show off some brilliant bird’s-eye grain patterns around the bowl.

The condition is very good. There’s some finish fading, and one or two handling marks around the bowl, but nothing 5.4″ / 137.1mm
