I agree about Ohio made. Additional Reed Stem Smoking Pipes from Summit County Ohio

Another.

This is:

definitely not made by prehistoric, I think that's why they get called trade pipes. I have never read up on them but do know they were mass produced not to awful long ago. I have never hunted in Ohio all pieces were found in southern IL...Saline and Gallatin counties.

The largest manufacturer of those pipes was in Point Pleasant Ohio

 

[GatorBoy]

I've only found one that may have been made there... Its a glazed face pipe ...all the rest I've found are British made.

 

[outlawatheart]

did the British made ones have long stems??

Yes.. some colonial pipes had them as well they had the nickname of Penny pipe because at the saloon you could pay a penny to have a smoke off the pipe when you were done you would break of the piece that your lips touched.
Find lots of stem pieces
This is a good link for the kaolin clay pipes.

Yep- it is (clearly) colonial- and often only the penny pipes were called 'trade' pipe- but those reed-stemmed (the reed's obviously gone) pipes were traded too. Solid and chunky, they tend to survive pretty well over the years. I've found 6 whole and lots of bits- and the whole ones could definitely work again- if I had a mind to use them... Just need a reed.. I think there were a couple manufacturers- or more. Ohio, West Va. (and N. Carolina?). I'm sure someone knows. Yak

Here's a paper on the Point Pleasant pipes: https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/bitstream/handle/1811/38903/Point_Pleasant_pipes.pdf

Hey outlaw,

The reason I said "White Man stuff" is mainly because of the marbles. I've never hunted in southern Illinois, but if I found reed stem pipes, in close association with clay marbles, I'd think White Man…

A lot of the reed stems were also produced in Pamplin, Virginia. Here's one that appears to be named after George Catlin:



"Acute angle. Color ranges from pale red to light orange. Round bowl encircled by a raised band below the
top. Raised "CATLINS" on each side of bowl. Stem is hexagonal, with the planes merging into the lower
portions of the round bowl. Stem terminates in a large, rounded lip. Produced by the Pamplin Co." Pamplin Clay Tobacco Pipes Minigallery - Museum of Anthropology - University of Missouri-Columbia
