The pipe measures 8" in length, the bowl measures nearly 5" from top to back.The pipe shows some small dings, mars and losses, all of the pewter is intact; the condition is good and the bowl shows smoking. The shaft measures 23-1/2" by 2", is nicely carved and pierced with most of its original paint. The shaft is slightly small for the pipe and may be worn or associated for display. In any case, a great looking pipe and shaft which are both Indian made and date to the 19th century, probably from the Great Lakes area. Est.: $1,000-$2,000
