'''''No. 12393.''''' | |||
At the beginning of the 1990's Peterson issued a pair of commemorative pipes. These were sold individually as boxed limited editions, to celebrate the issue of their original Patent System Pipe. These were a bent Oom Paul and a straight Billiard shape, with smooth or rustic finishes and sterling silver ferrules.<br> | |||
Each box contained certificates and relevant literature with the following quote from Charles Peterson. | |||
:“The importance of producing as perfect a pipe as possible is evident, when we realise how universally smoking has affected modern :thought in Art, Science, Literature, Politics, and even the Pulpit: how it has influenced the best wit of our time, and brought :relief and solace to over-taxed energies.“ | |||
