Pipe bowls

[Greg White]

Found in MD. Patapsco river. Around Elkridge.
Any way to tell how old they are? I don't see any markings.

Good finds. There's a guy over on the What is it Forum that has info on old pipes.

Nice bowls. I get stems, not bowls. Yours are 19th century, 1850's or a little more recent. Regarding the orientation of the picture, the quick fix is to hold the camera phone horizontally and it will correctly oriented. Otherwise use a photo editing program and rotate it, then save and post.

I have one almost like it found on an Indian area where trade goods were found. If you want to know the maker post it in the North American Artifact section. Some of the guys there know every design and factory that produced them. Nice find!

Cool finds !

I read this a while back - not 100% sure if it's true or not but it makes sense to me.
I don't know much about old Pipes but I read that the older they are the smaller they were.
This is due to the fact that Tobacco became less expensive in later years - as the price went down the Pipes got larger.

Try sizing the hole with the chuck end of a drill bit.
