RE: clay pipe bowl - 9/25/2005 12:44:18 PM    sheila Posts: 43 Joined: 9/18/2005 From: Mt. Pleasant PA Status: offline Hi all, our house is about 125 years old. I dug up 2 clay pipe bowls (broken) in the backyard. When we were having a furnace installed I found one in the basement rafters, intact with the stem! Most of the ones I've seen had a matte finish. One I can't locate at the moment has a very glossy finish. House ghost probably reclaimed it! LOL Attachment (1) (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 10

RE: clay pipe bowl - 10/19/2005 9:38:32 PM    NH Bottle Diver   Posts: 7 Joined: 8/24/2005 From: Bradford, NH Status: offline Hi PhilaBottles, I also find these kinds of pipes when diving here in NH. The TD ones stand for Thomas Dougal of Scotland. I have over a 100 of them in various states of breakage. My favorite intact one is from denmark. All of mine come from a river site that gives up glass ranging from 1780 on up to today. Matt. _____________________________ Will dive anywhere, anytime for awesome old glass...Matt, aka Lucky!
