Description from the seller
DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION
Composition:
No. 3 pipe in meerschaum (sea foam)
Shape: compactly bent, coherent across the three specimens.
Mouthpieces: black ebonite, classic shaping
Frames: original metal bands with Peterson branding.
Condition: used, with authentic natural patina (honey–amber), typical of proper aging of meerschaum.
The three pipes form a cohesive collection in terms of style, period, and quality, clearly intended for regular use rather than decoration.
Technical Analysis and Materials
Bodies: natural solid meerschaum (not pressed)
Patina: natural, progressive, with no signs of artificial whitening.
Frames: silver-colored metal (nickel silver), with a legible inscription 'PETERSON'.
Assembly: classic Peterson, with a well-proportioned mouthpiece and proper fit.
Rooms: consistent with normal use, with no visible structural burn marks.
Probable dating
Estimated production period.
1960s – early 1980s
Reasons for dating:
Peterson metal frame styles
Type of ebonite mouthpiece
Absence of modern markings or late serializations.
Patina compatible with a lifespan of at least 40–60 years.
Peterson's meerschaum production still active at that time.
Condition of preservation
General: good / good for age (see photo)
Normal signs of wear
Even patina (positive element)
Whole Bocchini
Original frames, with normal surface oxidation.
They are not 'restored' pieces: the conservation is honest and collector-appropriate.
MARKET VALUE (2026)
Estimated single value (each)
EUR 180 – 260
(variable depending on the integrity of the chamber and the alignment of the mouthpiece)
Total value of the collection (3 pipes sold together)
EUR 600 – 800
Selling it in bulk as a coherent Peterson meerschaum collection is preferable and increases its appeal compared to selling it in fractions.
FINAL JUDGMENT
Authentic collection
Peterson historical production
Natural meerschaum properly patinated
Ideal for collectors or for specialized sales.
A collection of good quality, superior to the average of generic-market meerschaum.
