Peterson Junior Rusticated Lovat Estate Briar Pipe, Irish Estates

Description

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.

Peterson’s Junior series is one that has been in production, on and off, since 1945. Named due to their diminutive size and weight, these pipes are smaller than standard Peterson shapes and series. This Lovat, for example, is a mere 20 grams, making it an ideal pocket-pipe and a clencher.

The condition is good. Some rim darkening.
