I got this from a friend that has decided to give up the pipe.

Limited Edition Mark Twain #177/400.







The pipe appears to have been hardly smoked. There's a lot of teeth chatter on the p-lip. It looks like the original owner must have just walked around with it in his mouth without smoking much at all. My friend that I got the pipe from was the second owner of the pipe and he never even smoked it.

Inside the case was the original letter of authenticity from Peterson. The letter states that this is bowl #177 to have been finished of the 400 bowls. The original owner had this letter notarized by a Notary Public. The typed letter is hand signed signed by William F. Sweeney, President.

Now that is just flat awesome. I'd love to have a Pete's "Twain"; probably won't happen, but glad to see you got yours!
