I'm looking to obtain a Peterson System Standard w/ vulcanite stem, in good condition.

I'm offering in trade the two pipes you see below.
1. A Butz Choquin Vendome pot. It's a pretty pipe, a good smoker, and in good shape.
2. A Doodler bull moose. Good shape, good smoker.

Anyone interested?

The BC Vendome is a longer, larger pipe than the Doodler. I'll provide measurements if you need'em.

I would be if I had one. Check out Wellington Pipes on eBay and Esty. They are vulcanite System Pipes. Made in America back in the day. A lot go up for sale. I got one brand new for not that much. They were made by WDC. The big ones were 10inch long. But they make small, medium and large ones. I love mine and I just got a tiny one. It needs to be cleaned though

Thanks, Abe! I'll take a peek.

Here is mine. Westminster Ltd Wellbore. Same as a WDC. Probably made by them. Was brand freakin new. Just had to clean up the oxidized stem. I sanded it down today to 2000 grit. Looks better than this pic now

I saw a baby wellington on the bay. It was too small (even for me)

Peterson 312 up top. Westminster middle. Little WDC bottom. Bowl and well is caked up. Marks on outside. Stem is heavily oxidized. Rim char. I could do it myself. But I don’t have the time. Off to Briarville it goes tomorrow.

That's a good size. The one I saw was probably the size of my thumb. Total size, not the chamber

I think that one is on my watchlist but no measurements. How small is it?? Is that the size of your thumb?
