Description: | Pipeclay and copper alloy Tobacco Pipe fragment. A shard from the bowl of a moulded tobacco pipe with narrow (c.2mm) wire drawn bore and a pointed spur below the bowl. There is the suspicion of a fluted style of decoration on the bowl. A copper alloy collar of thin sheet metal or foil, of thickness 0.2mm and made as a hollow tube, has been slid around the stem. The narrow bore suggests a later date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.Length: 32.3mm, Height: 19mm, Weight: 2.95gms.
