Found this pipe in about five pieces and glued it back together. I am wondering if anyone can tell me when it was manufactured and if it has a type name? I know it's clay and has a very nice glossy sheen on it. Almost a silvery look when you tilt it back and forth in the light. Everything else from this site seems to date from around 1830's to 1880's. Any help would be appreciated.
✅ SOLVED Anyone out there who can identify this pipe?

The reconstructed salt glazed reed insert smoking pipe bowl, appears to have features similar to the pipes produced at the Point Pleasant factory. The time frame of manufacturing there coincides with your other 1830's-1880's finds as well.

Not sure what yours looks like?I find them sometimes but not near as often for me as the colonial type or even native american for that matter.But it's more because how I hunt then anything.I only look for old sites so thats what I find.At any point I do have a few that would not match as well.But they are still the reed type & likely would be the earlier form seems how on occasion one shows at the sites I like to hunt.Not sure if yours may be like them? Here's a few like I find now & then,I think the little one with the face is pretty cool.
