[[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! Personally I am not a fan of Freehand pipes,to my eyes the are not aesthetically pleasing and are lacking the classic traditional lines that I find so appealing. 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. | |||

Sadly, these giant specimens are now to be discontinued by Peterson and will no longer be made by them. | |||
I often see references on general pipe forums as to the Plato's rarity,well if there was any dubiety before over these claims, then this cessation of their production will certainly ensure that remaining stock are definitely entitled to that tag. They are certainly 'unique' if nothing else. | |||
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.
