I appreciate that amongst Peterson aficionados, that the following is my interpretation and is open to
debate!


'''Explanatory note''' - ''The earliest known reference to Peterson is 1865,coupled to the pipe patent expiring on 1910 and the pipe bowls and silver ceasing to be stamped 'patent' around 1915. I chose that as the end of the true original patent era. I appreciate that Mike Leverette chose that the patent era continued until 1922, because of the lip patent being out of sync with the finish of the original.''


''If we were to be pedantic, the sequential dates would show that there was a '''pre-patent period''' from 1865 until the registration of the first UK patent in 1890. A '''pipe patent period''' from 1890 until 1910 and a separate '''lip patent period''' from 1898 until 1922!! phew!!''


''This note was included to emphasis the above and hope that it will reconcile the 'experts' to the reasons for choosing that particular time line and that it is not entirely historically accurate.''


We will look at the following historical periods in sequential isolation and in more detail.
*'''''1865 - 1890 Pre-patent Era'''''
*'''''1890 - 1922 Patent Era'''''
*'''''1922 – 1949 Pre Republic Era'''''
*'''''1950 – Present , Made in the Republic of Ireland'''''
*'''''1899 – 1970 London Made'''''


===1865 – 1890 Pre-patent Era===
As yet I have very little to contribute to this period. I hope to add some information in the near future.
