Jim Lilley probably has one of the largest collections of Kapp & Peterson pipes that we know of. His general/main collection of modern Peterson pipes can be viewed along with his fine collection of older pipes, including many notable and rare pieces from the period 1890 until 1950. Both collections can be viewed at the following link: http://sandpiper.smugmug.com | Jim Lilley probably has one of the largest collections of Kapp & Peterson pipes that we know of.

On a recent visit to Dublin Jim was given a presentation of an engraved Silver Spigot wind cap "Baskerville' pipe by Tom Palmer and the staff at Sallynoggin. Jim was informed that this was in recognition of his research of the company's history and the development and promotion of the brand through his collecting activities. Tom stated that, "Your knowledge and feeling for our pipes, heritage and history is deep and unique and I would like to personally thank you for this dedication". Jim was very moved by this surprise event and was more than proud and grateful to accept the gifts given to him, stating that "I will treasure these always". | On a recent visit to Dublin Jim was given a presentation of an engraved Silver Spigot wind cap "Baskerville' pipe by Tom Palmer and the staff at Sallynoggin.

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. | 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.
