Maybe someone’s idea of a joke. There was an “iron Eyes Cody” (real name Espera Oscar de Corti) who acted the part of a Native American in various films… famously as “Chief Iron Eyes” in the Bob Hope movie “Paleface” in 1948. He also played the “Crying Indian” in the TV public service announcements for the “Keep America Beautiful” campaign against littering and pollution in the early 1970s. Certainly he smoked, but not with a pipe like that in either movie parts or personal life.



Fame seems to have gone to his head, to the extent that he began claiming he was a real Native American and claimed membership to several different tribes at various times. After his death in 1999 it became apparent that, although he was born in Louisiana, both of his parents were Italian immigrants.

You can smoke whatever you like in it, but the style is Plains Indians type. Search "plains pipes" for more examples.

Hard to know for sure from the pics but yours looks like a modern reproduction.

[h=5]Plains Pipe[/h][FONT=&quot]The Plains pipe represents the most common style of pipe in use throughout the period of white contact.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Several Native American groups and tribes used this style of Pipe. Natives from the western Ohio Valley to the Rockies and from the Arkansas River to the plains of southern Canada all used long Pipes of a similar style.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Many Plains-style pipes came directly into white hands from the American Indians during that period in our history marked by the Indian wars and treaties. Because Native Americans and Europeans often used an American Indian ceremonial pipe to bind a treaty, people came to refer to it as the peace pipe.[/FONT]

Back in the 70's, my Boy Scout troop leader was George "Iron Eyes" Alford - a 'raised on the reservation' Comanche.
