PIPE (SMOKING)

Pipeclay tobacco pipes. About forty five pipe stem fragments. These were roughly and arbitrarily sorted, and range in external diameter from circa 10mm to circa 6mm diameter, with wire drawn bores of diameter 3.2mm to 2.2mm. These tend to relate to the external diameter - the thicker pipe having the wider bore - but not exclusively so, showing some stems to have been markedly tapered along their length. The broader stems are the most abraded, which may hint at their being mainly earlier in date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval to Modern, 1700-1900.
Weight: 96.40g.
