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 Irwin & Malmberg’s The Peterson Pipe Book documents, the Kapruf series from Peterson was debuted in the 1920s, with production continuing to 1987. Ordinarily, we’d be able to narrow down the date this one was made based on how it references Ireland in its country of manufacture stamp. With this one, however, it’s a little different, as it wasn’t made in Ireland at all, being instead made in Peterson’s London factory. The London factory existed from the end of the 19th century to around 1960, so for this pipe we would be looking at some time before the latter, but after the 1920s. The pipe itself is a sandblast, which Irwin takes as the reasoning behind the name (i.e., “Kapruf”/”Kapp rough”), in Peterson’s 263 Canadian shape.

The condition is good for its age. There is what looks to be a graze on the right hand side of the bowl, as well as some rim darkening, but it’s nevertheless been preserved well for a mid-century 5.8″ / 147.3mm

Bowl Width: 0.78 / 19.81mm

Bowl Depth: 1.58″ / 40.13mm

Weight: 0.9oz / 28g
