Pipeclay tobacco pipe fragment. Moulded bowl fragment with vertical tobacco leaf motif on seam and partial legend GAI[--] around rim and an uncertain device, possibly a robed figure holding a vertical staff. The finder cites parallels from P. Davey (BAR 63, page 14, fig. 4 no. 11) describing a pipe by 'Sherrey, Gainsborough'; Oswald (BAR 14, page 183) who identifies E. Sherry as a Gainsborough pipe maker active 1792-1822; and J.E. Mann (1977) describing a possible Masonic pipe design (this cited as Lincoln 1970-1974, pages 37-38, no. 210). Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1820.

Weight: 1.66g.
