But you did not make mention of the dates at which these shields were used.. I recently acquired one such model 314 Premier Edition pipe.. And was assured that it was almost (if not) a century old..<br /><br />If anyone can tell me more about the age of this pipe, please do as i also wish to establish the true age of this particular one..Ridwaan Gallownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868014871668986479.post-16136553699592455492012-04-10T16:08:35.570-04:002012-04-10T16:08:35.570-04:00I have a small four paneled billiard with fishtail...I have a small four paneled billiard with fishtail bit, stamped on the shank Peterson's (arched) and Dublin (arched).

The bowl is stamped with "Peterson's of Dublin" with the old, forked style "P". It also has a "K" immediately below which is in Serif font. On the opposite side of the bowl there is a number, "1066". The pipe is in perfect condition and has never been smoked. I also have the original box, which looks very old, however is still not dated. Please let me know whether you have any clue to the age.

On the bowl: K&P over Dublin. On the silver band, K&P with a faint series of hallmarks or logos. The first appears to be a shamrock, and the second may be the reclinging fox. Under the series of marks is again Dublin. Would this fit the category of the early pipes that showed no country of origin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868014871668986479.post-65763439974342374722007-12-05T06:23:00.000-05:002007-12-05T06:23:00.000-05:00(Eleven Petersons-as-such, plus nine Irish Seconds...(Eleven Petersons-as-such, plus nine Irish Seconds, making them the first and second largest groups out of my total of 50 - 60 pipes in all.)<BR/><BR/>Normally I think of pipes as "newer" or "older" but generally as being timeless or outside-of-time. Having found this article made me curious to figure out the approximate dates of my regular Petersons. <BR/><BR/>So here's an interesting mystery. Anyone care to venture a guess about the following pipe? <BR/><BR/>The pipe is a half-bent, 6-1/2" long in the longest measurable dimension; the bowl stands 2" high; the mouthpiece is 5/8" wide at the upper ridge in the P-lip. It appears to have been well-smoked in its previous lives; by no means a perfect specimen but good in any case. And all of the markings appear mutually contradictory.<BR/><BR/>The following are based on left and right as seen from the smoker's perspective with pipe in mouth.<BR/><BR/>Left side, on the shank, "Peterson's Patent" in all capitals in a semicircle with the concave side of the semicircle facing down toward the bowl. The letter P in Peterson's is clearly the early forked P with the curl in the fat part of the P. <BR/><BR/>Right side, on the shank, "Made in Ireland" in two lines of text, "Made in" and "Ireland," in all caps.<BR/><BR/>Below this, "9B" which I suppose is the shape number. <BR/><BR/>So far it would appear that we have a pre-Republic pipe in hand. However...<BR/><BR/>The silver band has the wording "Peterson's Dublin" where the P is clearly the newer "script P." To the right of this, the words "Sterling silver" in all caps. To the right of that, the three silver marks, which are very clearly identical with those in the PCOL page listing for the year 1975. The silver band is a wee bit loose such that it can be rotated with little effort (though it does not want to come off, fortunately). <BR/><BR/>The vulcanite stem has no markings on its outside, and it has the little metal fitting that screws into the vulcanite inside (something that's absent from a couple of my other Petersons though at least one has the threadings for it inside the stem). The stem tapers gently toward the bit, which is of the older and wider type that I prefer (yes, a minority preference; send me yours if you don't want them:-). <BR/><BR/>My inclination is to think that the history of this pipe is roughly as follows: It started as a pre-Republic pipe, possibly 1920s, but the Patent stamp was used "accidentally" as per obsolete stamps remaining in use. At some point in its life, the silver band was replaced with a newer one (hence the slightly loose fit). The stem feels as if it's original though it has few marks on the bit; if it was ever replaced I'd say the feel of it plus intuition suggests 1950s through 1970s. <BR/><BR/>Now to be quite clear about this, I buy pipes for the joy of smoking them, and I buy what appeals to my eye and hand, and what I think will be comfortable in my mouth. I could care less about impressing anyone, and I could care less whether a particular pipe is new-new or old-old, distinguished or common. Figuring out the history of my pipes is a matter of simple curiosity to know more about them, so you won't upset me if you say it's a totally unremarkable piece. <BR/><BR/>So, anyone venture a guess as to what I have here? Is my sense of the history of this pipe reasonable or did I miss something important? <BR/><BR/>If the conversation gets going here, perhaps we can talk more about our various pipes and try to figure out their backgrounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
