This hand carved figural Indian head smoking pipe is from the late 1800's early 1900's. By 1615 in England, the first consignments of Virginia tobacco for pipe smoking had arrived and some 7,000 shops in London sold tobacco. It was not until the 1850?s, with the influence of Spanish cigars and a sturdier briar pipe that the clay pipes popularity began to wan a bit. A fancy pipe of Briar maybe even with fittings of sterling silver or gold could show ones stature just as a gold pocket watch could. The 19th Century saw hundreds of designs manufactured. Pipes with figures, animals, and all sorts of emblems became common.
<BR>In very good condition but in need of sanitizing and cleaning it measures 1 3/4 inches high and 5 1/2 inches long. A nice display piece for any Pipe Collection.
<BR>SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed. If you have questions feel free to contact me and thank you for looking.
