Ivarsson frequently returned to this design throughout his career as a pipemaker, licensing several variations to Stanwell, as well as continuing to make them under his own name. The Peewit would also come be reinterpreted by many artisan pipemakers, including in designs licensed to Stanwell by Tom Eltang, and Sixten's granddaughter, Nanna Ivarsson.
