[QUOTE="bent bulldog, post: 373432, member: 3484"] O.K. Brethren here's a question that has been driving me crazy for years and hopefully one of you historian types can provide an answer. I have been a fanatical viewer of the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies for decades and have also become quite familiar with Peterson pipes from my years of owning and operating a pipe shop. One of the reasons I took up the pipe back in the 1960's was because of the Holmes movies. In those movies Rathbone smokes a system pipe that appears to be a #309 shape but unlike every other system pipe I have ever seen his pipe has a tapered mouthpiece with the requisite Peterson lip button. All the ones I have ever encountered, and they are in the hundreds, have the step down, saddle style mouthpiece. Any suggestions as to the origin of that mouthpiece that Basil uses? Maybe it was custom made for some reason. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
