These are British pre 1840. Anyone like puzzles?

I think a pipe week shirt is probable cause. Especially for a bunch of rock hunting hippies like us.
 

Ha ha.. I will never go back there again
 

Thank you. I still have a genuine Native American pipe on my to find list.

Yeah, Age Old said it! If those are trade pipes, which I know they are, fancy designs tell that. I'm scared I may have allowed an ancient native pipe to get stolen. I displayed one that my dad found years ago at my Jr. High school. We always thought it to be a trade pipe, but I'm second guessing that now. It was green hard unglazed clay with a normal sized pipe bowl and a short stem. The bottom had a triangle "arrowhead" shape below the bowl for looks only or for a grip that would not be so hot. We always thought it was a trade item because the stem "hole" was so perfect. Other than the triangle at the bottom, it was plane Jane? You know if all trade pipes had the Roman looking designs?

I do know that the hole to the stem was larger than the ones you have. Got me thinking again Gator !!??
 

The native pipes I'm talking about are crude and large. Yours sounds like a trade pipe.

I'm sure you'll find one. You seem to be loaded with Indian sites. Did you find those British pipes here in fl?

That has been years ago. I lost some sleep alright. I know who has it. Old teacher of mine. Got me for a full grooved axe also. Oh yeah, axe that also did not belong to me. My uncle's. I finally found a raised ridge axe and tried to make my uncle take it, he wouldn't . I was telling bird point this a few days back. That teacher handed me the small stuff back like nothing was wrong.

That's odd for a teacher to take your stuff like that. Must have been upsetting as a kid. Sorry to hear about that
