Little help please...What in the world is a "Hope Pipe"

Hey gang,
Had a friend ask about a "Hope Pipe". An acquaintance of his reportedly had/has a "Hope Pipe" and it sounds intriguing. Says it is made of Ohio soapstone. Found in a cave Any ideas?

Must be what Obama smokes his pot in. His "Hope" is costing us a lot of "Change".





Now, you KNEW that someone was going to point this out, didn't you?

LOL, you can keep the change Barry.


Seriously though, an Ohio Hopewell pipe may be what he's referring too?

He is probably talking about a hopewell pipe, that the hopewell indians from ohio made, Can you have your friend let you post a picture of the pipe ?

Yeah, I'm sure he meant Hopewell Pipe. Did he say whether it was a Platform Pipe, an Effigy Pipe, or what? See if you get pictures and post them.

I've never heard of one having been found in a cave... But it would be interesting see it, there are a lot of authentic relics with bad histories.

Thanks gang for the good information. Hey Tennessee, indeed I've been out kicking around these plowed wheat fields looking for something of interest. Be sure and check out my recent posting. SRV, I've got a photo coming. Apparently it was done in an effigy of a turtle. It's suppose to be of incredible detail. However, perusing the websites I see some incredible pieces most of which demonstrate incredible detail. I appreciate all of your input. I'll definitely post the photos when they're available.
