'''Collection Display and Storage'''
 
As an obsessive collector it was inevitable that storing my ever increasing collection of Peterson pipes would prove problematic,especially with my good lady wife!!
In the early days there was no system as such,I would in fact say it was somewhat chaotic ! as can be seen in the first photo.

I was told in no uncertain fashion that I had to adopt a more systematic approach! otherwise my wife would 'tidy them' using her own system.
I tailored my approach to our own environment,which involved limited space. After some investigation I decided on a system of storage using a large number of Peterson
12 pipe display cassettes enough to house my burgeoning collection,now around 500 pipes.
