Peterson system pipe pick up

[Pandyboy]

I went to a flea market/antiques fair in Torquay today and picked up this Peterston system 317 rusticated pipe. Looks in reasonably good condition. It has some marks on the silver band that I think make it silver but I could be wrong.
It cost ?15 so not bad.

I keep thinking about buying a System pipe but never quite pull the trigger, I will do one day! Nice buy.

The band is nickel the hallmarks are trademarks. Peterson systems are the best smokers IMO.

I've found that out since I bought it. If only I knew it at the time I cod have knocked out down a bit more.

What's the difference between a 'normal' pipe and a 'system' pipe? That just the model name or does it smoke differently?

[ValeTudoGuy]

A system pipe has a "gravity trap" which stops moisture from entering the stem and affecting the smoke.

I don't have one yet but I really want one... They have many fans and are often regarded as some of the best smoking pipes around.

I just noticed that picture I posted says nicotine... It should say "tar"

I can't see any picture!
