Another
was
" Try
.Lorillard's Tobacco", which was featured on a pipe stem recovered from the site of Fort Fetterman near Douglas, Wyoming, dated 1863-1882 (Omwake - notes). Suggested dating - second half of the 19th century. Bore: 4/64" . Fig. VIII F - No.1015: A short stem fragment impressed with RICH TYLER under which is a hand or perhaps a gauntlet, all within a circle. R ichard Tyler is listed as a pipemaker at Bath, Somerset, England c. 1700 (Oswald 1975). Although he is not shown as an exporter, Bath is only approximately 10 miles from Bristol, an important pipe exporting city, so it requires little imagination to understand how it found its way to the U. S. sometime shortly after 1700. Bore: 5/64" . Fig. VIII G No.175: This stem fragment bears a portion of a mark: "S. Orne- Depose" on two lines. The complete mark probably read "L. Fiolet a St. Omer Depose" on three lines. The illustrated mark is one of several variations of this famous nineteenth century French pipemaker. Fiolet's products are found in many areas of North America and Africa (Walker 1975). The firm was in business from at least the middle of the eighteenth century to 1921 (Oswald 1975). Two variations of the mark are illust rated by Walker (1971 Plate 6). One Walker example shows a grave accent over "a" and accute accents over the letters "e" in Depose. These accents are missing on the Pusey stem. The other Walker example reads "L.· Fiolet St. Omer FRANC E" on three lines. The quality of workmanship and finish suggest that it would not be out of place in a late 19th century context (Omwake - notes) . No.221 (not i llustrated): A bit end of pipe stem coated with a brown glaze, probably varnish. Glazed or waxed bit ends were so treated to prevent the smoker's lips from sticking to the pipe. The fact that this is the only glazed stem, out of nearly two thousand excavated stems demonstrates the practice of coating the ends was not common. One wonders why this apparent eighteenth-century innovation (Noel Hume 1970 ) was not used earlier and more frequently. Date uncertain. Bore 4/64". No.1426 (not illustrated): Small fragment of stem and bowl with a heel on the bottom of which is molded a star over an animal (donkey?). The quality of finishing and style of mark are in the Dutch tradition of the 18th century . Bore: 6/64" . Fig. VIII H & J - No.169 , No.2126: Small fragments of two reed stem pipes. The term "reed-stem" derives from the form of the pipe which has a short shank formed to accommodate a hollow reed which acts as a stem. Once seen, its distinctive style is readily recognized. It is generally accepted that this form of pipe originated in the vicinity of Pamplin, Virginia as a home-industry product which was "well un derway by the l 740's", (Hamil ton Hamilton, 1972) a!.1.d continued until sometime around 1953. This form was easily manufactured, quite popular and copied by firms at Mogodore Ohio, Bethabara, North Carolina and Pamplin, Virginia. The oldest factory to produce pipes of this shape was possibly at Bethabara in 1775 followeq by factories at Mogodore and Pamplin. The literature is not clear which was second but we do know that the Pamplin Smoking Pipe and Manufacturing Company was established about 1878 and closed in 1951 or 1953 (Hamilton & Hamilton,
