Peterson System Ebony 302 Bent Apple 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.

This particular Peterson is an example of the aforementioned System series. Hidden away in its shank lies a reservoir for collecting excess moisture and preventing gurgle. The shape is Peterson’s classic 302 bent apple, while the series is Peterson’s house dress pipe Ebony finish.

The condition is very good. A few small scratches around the bowl.
