[[File:Plato Freehand.jpeg|thumb|left|Plato Freehand]] '''The Peterson Plato:'''- Peterson makes a very limited number of these Freehand pipes .So few, in fact, that many people don't even know they exist!

I always feel that they look like unfinished rough briar's waiting to be completed. However I do realise that equally there are many people that do like them. | [[File:Plato Freehand.jpeg|thumb|left|Plato Freehand, Jim Lilley collection]] '''The Peterson Plato:'''- Peterson makes a very limited number of these Freehand pipes .So few, in fact, that many people don't even know they exist!

Measuring just over 3” from the heel to the apex of the bowl rim, 2” across and 6 1/2” long. Weighing a full 3 ounces, the pipes feel surprisingly light for their size. The pipes are chunky, but are well balanced.They provide a good dry smoke. The stem fits snugly and is removed without effort. The pipes have great hand feel and the thick walls prevent them getting to hot to hold. | Measuring just over 3” from the heel to the apex of the bowl rim, 2” across and 6 1/2” long.
