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. | |||
