It's an Irish estate pipe - Peterson Dublin compacting opera pipe 1914.
It's a nice little vest pocket pipe for a quick smoke. To bad they are no longer in production. I would definitely add one to my collection.
@Charles that estate pipe looks so rad. Does the description say it’s a refurbished or rebuilt or is that the original condition?
Love how you rock the hat to hold your pipe. That pic was cool.
Peterson Pre-Republic P-Lips are my favorite production pipes to collect!
That is a great looking bulldog ocpunk, I hope it turns out to be one of your best smokers!
@judandhispipe Try looking for a Peterson 999. It's a bent Rhodesian with a nice shape to it. A perfect pipe to clench.
Was so excited and couldn't wait to receive it. Finally, when it came, I opened up the package, took out the green Peterson box, opened it, unwrapped the pipe, and took it out of it's sock. The first thing I like to do is run a pipe cleaner through to clean out any debris left from drilling and to check the air flow. The pipe cleaner would not go all the way through so I pulled out the stem to look at the mortise for any possible blockage and low and behold, the problem was that the hole was off center and would not allow passage.
I put the pipe back together and placed it back into the sock, re-wrapped the pipe and placed it back in the box and then repacked the box. I called smokingpipes.com and asked them how to go about returning the pipe and why I wanted to return it. They understood and were very helpful with the return process. Smokingpipes.com also stated that offset holes were common with bent Peterson pipes but not with their straight pipes. But still, I was very disappointed and was looking forward to that bent bulldog, but this was my first issue with Peterson.

Mail call. Made in Ireland in a circle places the pipe between 1942-1946. There is just enough silvermark left to narrow in on 1942.

The 4AB article is a good read, too bad the pipes are limited edition expensive. I'm happy I like an open draw an can't drill a bent stem!. I love the look and feel of my 2021 Christmas Lestrade but know it's going to bite my tongue.
