The coolest pipe EVER

[Garscale]

Ever seen a pipe like this one? 30 years ago, a 10 year old boy found this pipe on part of my Houston Co site in East Tx but on neighboring property. The kid is now 40 and a business owner. I ran into him last year in a business setting and asked is he still had the pipe. He wasnt sure but said he would dig around in some drawers and try to find it. I gave him my number and left. He called me the next day and had found it.

The pipe resembles post contact trade pipe but this one is carved and polished not molded. Also I dont know what the material may be but not clay. I was able to acquire the pipe and love it.

Indian Steve, do you know if these novelty pipes were a copy of origional native work or were they all post contact creations?

Check out my post from 4:10 pm today. It looks like yours could be the earlier type circa 1900. The Catawba Potters - Catawba Indian Pottery - Antique Pottery
