I was given this email address to make an inquiry regarding a clay pipe
that I found this summer in the Brown's Folly Mine of Bath County England.
The pipe is made of a powdery white clay, and its neck is broken into
about 4 pieces. The bowl of the pipe has a small, clay projection at the
base that may have been intended as a prop when the bowl is placed on a
flat surface such as a table. The mine was opened in 1835 and closed in
1907.

A few weeks ago I visited the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, Fla
and saw a clay pipe identical to the one that I found. The caption read
that it was a typical British pipe of around the mid 1700's.

I guess I am curious about the actual dates of such a pipe, how common
are they to find and perhaps what the value of such a pipe would be.

I would appreciate any information that you could provide. Please feel
free to forward this email to anyone who would have information.

Thank you,

Lisa Miller
