...to the river by my house (the pawtuxet river) i usually find old medicine bottles,marbles and clay pipes down there. i spotted this old guy on the way out.

im thinking its a american made pipe.the bowls walls are twice the thickness of a typical T.D. style pipe and deeper and wider and the clay is alot poorer quality.theres no markings or numbers anywhere on it either and the stem would have been quite thick compaired to the smoke hole.still a nice find! one more to add to the collection!

Nice find...that stem hole is small

Hmmmmmm...... someone put something in there to smoke, just not sure what. Still a nice find, and great In-Situ.

That's different. Wonder how old? Sounds like a case for Roger.....

Serendipity, you just never know what you're gonna find till you find it.
Hole is a little small from what you can tell of the bowl size.
Meerschaum pipe, tumbled to death?
