Rare Vintage Peterson Giant Smooth Bent P-Lip Pipe. Made in mid-1970s Era – Very Nice! This is a rare vintage Peterson Giant Smooth pipe, probably made about 1974, and it’s in very nice to excellent condition. This is a Speciality Pipe (sometimes to referred to as an XXL) that was made in limited numbers. This one has the arched “Petersons” (with the forked tail) over “Dublin” on the shank’s left side. The right side has the imprint Made in the Republic of Ireland. Look at the amazing circular grain pattern on the lower right side of the bowl – it’s amazing. There are dozens of tiny birdseye marks ascross the bowl and stem – please see photos for detail. This is a powerfully beautiful pipe. It’s been lovingly cared for and is clean and polished – with very little tobacco odor. And, have we mentioned, this PIPE IS HUGE!!! It’s more than 7-1/2 inches long! Bowl height is 2.5 inches. Chamber depth is 2.1 inches. You’ll need a long, long time to smoke this baby if you fill it up. Perfect for taking with you to the Pub or spending a quiet time! The surface condition is exceptional. Few, if any, surface marks. There’s a tiny scuff/ding near the imprint on the right side. Another rarity is that this pipe had the P-Lip stem, rather than the fishtail. The stem is free of chatter or scratches and just shines! The Peterson “P” imprint is easily visible, however the “fill” paint is missing. In the last photos this pipe is placed next to a Peterson XL16 Kinsale pipe (a large pipe) to show comparison in size. The XL16 is not included in this sale, it is there for size comparison only. For those who want a large pipe, then this is a perfect addition to your collection! Please see our E-Bay site for more exceptional tobacco pipes!
