Description: | Incomplete fragment of a clay tobacco pipe bowl of late post medieval date (1668-1720). The pipe fragment measures 27.1mm length, 12.6mm width and is 18.5mm thick. The bowl diameter cannot be measured and the heel diameter 12.9mm, weight 4.41 grams. The information within this report is taken from information provided by Mr Rex Key of Broseley Pipe Museum to which sincere thanks are extended. Broseley style pipe, fitting David Atkinson's Broseley Type 5 classification, with pointed oval heal, dated to 1668-1720 (Atkinson 1975). The relief heal mark is fragmentary possibly being that of Samuel Roden arranged over two lines. Roden was a Broseley pipemaker. The pipe shows signs of burnishing (straight, smoothing strokes).
