A rare opportunity to own a 1970s Peterson System 312 "Golden Princess" carved from genuine African (Tanzanian) Block Meerschaum. This discontinued material is prized by collectors for its durability and superior smoking qualities compared to modern Turkish varieties.
Features:
- Shape: Iconic "312" muscular bent Billiard.
- Material: Rare African Block Meerschaum with a smooth "Golden Princess" factory finish, developing a beautiful honey-gold patina.
- Mount: Original nickel "K&P" (Kapp & Peterson) military-style mount with Irish heritage logos.
- Stem: Original vulcanite P-Lip (Peterson-Lip) mouthpiece for a cooler, "tongue-bite" free smoke.
- Provenance: Includes the original 1970s "Thinking Man" red presentation box with gold-stamped logo.
Condition: Excellent vintage estate condition. The meerschaum is solid with no cracks, and the nickel mount is tight. A true "time capsule" set from the Republic of Ireland era.
