There were a spate of reproduction series of pipes from Peterson in the 1970's. For some reason their creativity on new series was at a low ebb during that time. They appeared to concentrate on issuing themed and limited edition commemorative pipes,many of which were recreations of pipes from their past. | |||
In 1975 Peterson issued the Centennial Limited Edition 1875 - 1975 pipes. | |||
The Peterson Centennial pipes, were released in celebration of 100 years of the company's pipe making. Two pipes were issued, 100 of each shape,a sterling silver banded straight and a bent shape 69, both were offered for sale individually. | |||
These pipes are relatively rare, owing to the small numbers of each that were issued. I was fortunate in acquiring a nice condition shape 69.(No 37 of 100). Please see adjoining photos. | |||
