Nice pipe! I'm still picking them up at Stonetown. Red that's a great book by a great archy I assume your talking about Ivor Noel Hume's book.

You were right Steve that author;s name didn't get included - but it is an interesting book. RED Matthews

I dug one once with the curved stem like yours in Illinois. It has advertising on it also. I let the guy I dug with have it, but wish I would have kept it. I guess they are quite rare. Congrats! Paul

I have found Ivor Noel Humes books to be quite useful in identifying dug material. He has written several good books, a very good one on English pots, and several on archaeology in colonial Williamsburg.

They look great in a display box. Here is one I made a few years ago.

Hello!

I am an archaeologist and we also recently found a "Try Lorillard's Tobacco" pipe though we only found the stem. I am currently writing a blog post about it for my job and would like permission to use your image so our readers can see what the whole pipe would look like. We would be happy to give credit to you for the photo. Please let me know if that is ok with you.

Thanks!

Found this yesterday in a nearly empty 4'x8' woodliner...the few other things that were in it were 1870's. Anyone seen one of these before? Marked on one side "Try Lorillard's Tobacco" and marked on the other side "16-18-20 Chambers Street New York".
