This pair of tampers combines form & function something we prize here at Peretti's.
Exclusive to Peretti's by pewter smith Larry Blackett.
Blackett first made this Poe tamper for us to pay homage to Edgar Allen Poe whose statue stands directly in front of the store. Poe was born above the shop. His mother lived in this building at 21/2 Park Sq. for most of her life. While Poe may not have been the greatest fan of the city (he referred to his mother’s genteel literary circle as “Frog Pondians”) he returned to Boston many times throughout his life. Blackett then fashioned a second Poe inspired Raven tamper, available only when paired with the Edgar Allen Poe tamper.
Commemorating a little Peretti history, a little Boston history and our connection to one of the great lights of American Literature.
