Short Rusticated (264) Fishtail

The "264" is Peterson's classic Canadian shape, defined by its arrow-straight oval shank and abbreviated, tapered stem. Here in the Shorts line, however, it takes on a more compact, charming disposition. While the bowl proportions have remained unchanged, the abbreviated shank and stem lend it an added chubbiness that calls to mind the pipe designs of the early 20th century. It's presented here in a warm walnut stain and a rugged rustication, topped with a vulcanite fishtail bit and a broad sterling silver band.
