Clay pipe

[Ninjafossils]

Found this clay pipe while digging in my TOC dump. I always look at these as colonial but this one does not fit the time frame of the dump. How old is it and what do the initials T D on the bowl mean?

Replica clay pipes are often sold at Colonial Village re-enactment locations, Like Colonial Williamsburg in Va., and Old Sturbridge Village in MA.

Not sure what the initials signify (can't make them out) but I would hazard a guess that this may be a replica piece from such a theme location as mentioned above.

It appears that your initials are T.D.

If so.....
