Description
Peterson pipes generally need no introduction, but just in case you’re unfamiliar: in 1876, a Latvian named Charles Peterson immigrated to Ireland and was hired making pipes in a workshop owned by Frederick and George Kapp. After rising through the ranks to become head craftsman, Peterson bought into the Kapp’s business, which was renamed, Kapp & Peterson (K&P). During this time, Peterson himself applied for several patents for pipe designs, including the world-famous Peterson’s System. Since then, Peterson has become one of the most recognizable names in pipe smoking and continues to produce high quality pipes from their headquarters in Dublin.
As Mark Irwin over at Peterson Pipe Notes documents, the Donegal Rocky line debuted in 1945, and it has been something of a mainstay ever since. Named for its finish, which evokes the stony geological formations of Ireland’s northwestern region, it is a genuine classic in the history of high-quality, rusticated pipes. This one is rendered in Peterson’s mainstay shape “106” large billiard, which, along with its black vulcanite stem and shining nickel collar, gives it even more of a traditional (if you’ll excuse the pun) edge.
The condition is great. Some minor rim darkening.
