Tobacco Pipe Bowls - 11/30/2005 8:56:46 PM    quicksilver   Posts: 133 Joined: 7/16/2005 Status: offline Hi, Anyone know anything about tobacco pipe bowls?? Looking for value, age and history of a porcelain pipe bowl my friend found while digging for bottles at a rural site in Michigan. The pipe bowl is intact, 3" long, and contains the picture of a man in a suit coat and dress pants and a tophat bending down by a deer. Composition seems to be porcelain. Glazed. Other finds (bottle frags and metal objects), date the area to 1880-1915. However, inhabitants were in the area since 1600's. Let me know your thoughts. I will try to get a pic up by Friday. Thanks.

Try searching eBay for ~ porcelain pipe deer ~ and search in title and description. _____________________________ ~ tncgal ~ (in reply to quicksilver) Post #: 2

Most of the fancy ones date from the mid 1800's to around WW1, can't really come up with a value without a photo, looking forward to seeing it . (in reply to quicksilver) Post #: 3

My friend forgot to bring it with him today so I could take a picture of it. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, I'll look for a book on the subject of tobacco bowls. Do you recommend any?
