CLAY PIPES English ,  18th - early 19th c Five rare colonial clay pipes found in the Thames, very good undisturbed condition. Longest pipe - 5 3/4 in. Clay pipes were common in Revolutionary War camps, As tars accumulated at the mouth of the stem, this was broken off to remove unpleasant taste. Thus pipes became steadily shorter until they could no longer be used. Rare survivors as used in early America. Length: 5 1/4 - 3 1/4 inches.   Contact us for price zz1198 Click on any image to enlarge it. Click again to make it smaller.                   Return to Everyday Objects Print this Page
