Pipe from 1st privy**NICE ONE TOO!!! - 9/26/2006 2:50:18 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2020 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline This pipe says;(debossed)GLASCOW(inside of band)(on both sides). I'm not sure if there is wording though in the band. If there is it is very very small. On the bowl of the pipe, it has the letters; T.   D.(enbossed) on the bowl facing you. The whole pipe is 4"long and 2"tall from the top of bowl to the bottom of the knob. One more I found today too.

A common mark found on kaolin clay pipes. I found one with the same TD in a civil war hut site. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 9/26/2006 8:56:47 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to alabasterbottle) Post #: 4

One had Glascow on it and the other had GERMAN then the rest of the stem was broke off.  The funny thing was, that according to a archaeology book I had, TD was supposed to be a British maker of pipes.
