Hi Arno,
I enjoyed reading the article on Dutch tobacco. The scholarly tone has led me to ask you if you know anything about the origin of the “Dutch Billiard” shape name? I am writing a book on Peterson pipes that will be out probably early next year — THE PETERSON PIPE: THE STORY OF KAPP & PETERSON — and have always loved shape 4 (aka 309), which was described by Peterson as a “Dutch” billiard in many of their 20th c. catalogs. I know this means “straight-sided,” but wondered if you could tell me anything else? Are there traditional “Dutch” pipe shapes, for example, as we think of “Danish” or “English” shapes?
Thanks, and thanks also for sharing with your blog.
