- MILLIMETER AND CENTIMETER RULE
Plate 37 Type:
Funnel elbow angle Dutch "trade" pipe.
Collection:
Mohawk-Caughnawaga Museum at Fonda, New York.
Provenience: Recovered in excavations of the Mohawk Indian "castle" Caughna waga 1667-1693. Heelmark:
H:G surmounted by a five point crown; the letters are separated by two vertical dots (see Plate 38).
Attributes:
Finely made and polished thin walled pipe. The stem has been broken towards the smoker's end the bowl shows a slight eversion and the interior shows smoking. Rim rouletting is uneven. The unique feature of this pipe is the raised "dot" seen at the junction of stem and bowl on the right side of the pipe. All fifteen speci mens recorded at Caughnawaga have this feature, as does one belly-bowl with an HG impressed heelmark and some of the later belly-bowl pipes impressed with the EB heelmark. Also, see Plate 41 and the hand marked belly-bowl. This "dot" is unique to seventeenth century Dutch pipemaking and may represent an earlier attempt in Amsterdam to differentiate classes of pipes according to quality. (See Walker, 1971 p. 62 for a discussion of this.)
Measurements: Friederich, 1975 p. 77 H-40 mm B-13 mm 0-16.5 mm or C. 21,000 or mid-eighteenth century which is too late for this con text. Bore diameter measures range from 6/64th inch to 6/64th plus inch on thirteen measurable specimens. Minimum thickness of stem at stem-bo�1l!inction is 10.5 mm; maximum is 11.8 mm. �' t')!
Comparisons: This particular mar�}Vas thought to be unique to Caughnawaga (McCashion 1975 p. 12) but it appears to have been recorded at the Seneca site Snyder-McClure dated by Wray between 1687-1710 r:,,lray, 1973 p. 8) and now at the Upper Hogan Oneida site dated by Pratt between 1677 and 1685, though the Binford date for this site with predominantly HGs is 1691.621. This is suspect for it seems now that Dutch bore stem diameters decrease rapidly after the influx of HG pipes. Caughnawaga showed the same problem and no median date was established using the Binford formula on pipes which were predominantly HG in volume com pared to the EBs which may have been carried over from the previous destruction by the French in 1666. There was only one on Upper Hogan reported. Maker:
Hendrick Gerdes, of Amsterdam probably between 1668-1684 (see text).
Pipe date:
1668-1684 plus ten years (see text).
Site date:
1667-1693. 128

HISTORIC CLAY TOBACCO PIPEMAKERS (BY STATE)
Alabama To date, no conclusive evidence pertaining to clay tobacco pipe manu facture in Alabama has come to the author' s attention. However, this is pre sumably due to a lack of research, and not to a lack of pipe production. Greer (1978c) feels certain that clay tobacco pipes were produced in Alabama, particularly in the Randolph County area where many potters worked during the 1840-1880 period. She examined (ibid.) the Census Schedules for Industry and Manufacture for Alabama for 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880, which listed "manufacturers whose annual product was valued at above $500. 00/annum". No pipe factories were listed on these particular census schedules, but many of the potteries known to be present also were not listed (Greer 1978b, 1978c). Thus, Alabama is presumably a state where evidence of clay tobacco pipe production is waiting to be uncovered. To date, the historic Alabama pottery industry has received relatively little attention (Greer 1978b, 1978c).
Delaware The author has not obtained any specific evidence of clay tobacco pipe manufacture in Delaware. However, Barber (1901 :342) did relate that· "Excellent pipe clays are found at Hockessin, Delaware, . " suitable for white pipes,
Georgia Nothing has yet been published on historic clay tobacco pipe manufacture in Georgia. John Burrison has been studying the Georgia pottery industry, and intends to complete a book on Georgia' s Folk Potters within the next several years (Burrison 1978a, 1978d). Burrison has photographed some examples of clay tobacco pipes manufactured in Georgia, and intends to use these illustrations in his book. He has, however, most generously provided information about a number of Georgia pipemakers. The pertinent information from two of Burrison' s letters follows: " .••. a number of Georgia potters produced tobacco pipes. To my knowledge, this was always a sideline, not a specialty. These potters were mostly farmers who operated on a small scale. The pipes consisted of bowls and collars, to which a cane stem would be fitted. Normally these were molded, but in one case the bowls were actually turned on the potter' s wheel. The earliest known Georgia pipe maker was John F. Holland, a Moravian potter from Salem, North Carolina, 155

invention, and desire to have secured to me by letters of patent, is the use of the wire gauge frame constructed substantially as above described, in moulding clay or earthen pipes, in the manner and for the purpose above specified. "I also claim the improvement above specified in the sack in which said pipes are suspended to be dried, said improvement consisting in confining said sack to two rails, kept parallel by means of cross bars, forming with them -a rectangular frame as hereinabove des cribed. " Michigan In the listing that provided the names of two Maryland pipemakers, the names and addresses of three Detroit pipemakers were also listed (Connorton 1887:275): "Conway & Hamlyn "Deffley, Christopher "O'Dwyer, John

The inclusion of pipemakers in this particular tobacco brand directory suggests that the pipemakers were advertising to the various tobacco manufacturers. Presumably, this advertising pitch was made in order to provide tobacco manufacturers with tobacco pipes to distribute with their tobacco. This point will be covered in Sudbury l\'.IS 8. During the final decades of the 19th century, some tobacco manufacturers distributed clay pipes with their smoking tobacco. In a number of instances , pipemakers placed the name of the tobacco brand or of the tobacco manufacturer on the pipe (Sudbury 19771; l\'.IS 1; l\'.IS 8). One reference in particular indicates the significance of this practice: "In addition to what is generally understood by the term pottery, stoneware clay enters into other lines of manufacture, among which is the common clay smoking pipe. This industry has been prominent in Akron [Ohio]° and vicinity for a number of years, several potteries at one time engaged in it. The capacity of one alone reached 60, 000 pipes per day, and when it burned out in 1875, had unfilled orders on hand br 3,000,000. The greatest development was from 1885 to 1890, when certain tobacco manufacturers adopted the plan of putting a stone [stoneware] pipe in each package of smoking tobacco. For a while it was found almost impossible to keep pace with the orders for pipes, but finally a construction of the revenue laws put a stop to the custom and the stone pipe business suffered a serious blow.11 (Ohio 1896:46) The appearance of pipemakers names in Connorton' s Directory in 1887 occur red during the height of the various pipemakers competition to s ell pipes to the tobacco companies to place in their packages of tobacco.

"At present there are numerous tobacco- pipe manufactories scattered throughout the United States, of which one in St. Louis, Mo., another at Fulton, Ill., and several in Virginia, are probably the most impor tant. 11 (Barber 1901 :341-342). "Excellent pipe clays are found at Hockessin, Delaware, and at other points in Indiana and Missouri, suitable for white pipes, while in the latter State a red clay occurs which is used extensively in the manu facture of red bowls." (Barber 1901:342) This is good evidence that there was at least one manufacturer of clay tobacco pipes in St. Louis, but at this time, the particular manufacturer in question has not been identified. To date, the author has not been able to study the clay tobacco pipe indus try that was apparently present in St. Louis at the turn of the century. How ever, an inquiry as to which tobacco pipe manufacturers were present in St. Louis during the period covered by two editions (1893, 1901) of Barber's book entitled The Pottery and Porcelain of the United States received the following response: "I checked the St. Louis city directories from 1889 through 1903 for tobacco pipe manufacturers , as you re quested, and came up with quite an assortment. Most of the directories did not have headings for 'clay pipes , ' 'clay tobacco pipes , ' 'smoking pipes , ' or even 'tobacco pipes. ' Most just had ' pipes , ' although most did separate the industrial sewer type pipes from the others. Consequently, I do not know what types of pipes these companies manufactured, or if they were manufacturing smoking pipes. I did, however, elimi nate those which obviously manufactured corn cob pipes, and we have had several of those in Missouri. "The directory entries, arranged chronologically by first appearance, are as follows: - Ruth Pipe Co., 115 Valentine St., 1889-1896 - Stickfort, Herman, 2112 College, 1889-1896 - Kaldenberg, F. J., 114 N. 2nd, 1890-1893 - Vegetable Meerschaum Co., 616 N. Commercial, 1890-1895 - Prost, George, and Co., 619 Pine, 1892-1896 - St. Louis Pipe Co., 3531 Gratiot, 1894 - New Haven Pipe Works, 707 Olive, 1895 - Albers, Henry, 712 N. 12th, 1897 - at least 1930s - Meyer, M. J. and Co., 121 Market, 1899 - Ruge and Eulenstein, 3204 N. 19th, 1899-1903 - Twin Tobacco Smoking Pipe Co., 3204 N. 19th, 1900-1903 - Star Patent Tobacco Pipe Co., 1483 Stevert, 1900." (Schoene 1979) Although it is uncertain which individuals and firms in the above list produced clay tobacco pipes, first appearances suggest that there was a significant clay tobacco pipe industry in St. Louis during the last decade of the 19th cen tury. Earlier and later entries in the directories were not checked, and it is likely that the industry continued beyond the confines of the period reported 168

In addition to being an interesting account of production methods, one immedi ately wonders if Cupples Co. of St. Louis, Missouri, was purchasing pipes from The Akron Smoking Pipe Company at this time. The Akron Smoking Pipe Company operated a tobacco pipe factory in Pamplin, Virginia, and apparently continued to market pipes from that source until it sold the Pamplin plant in 1919 (Sudbury 1977d:ll). There is also limited evidence that The Akron Smoking Pipe Company purchased and mar keted pipes from several potteries in Point Pleasant, Ohio. Doyle (1908:621) indicates that the Akron firm had a branch factory in Point Pleasant, Ohio, although there is currently no firm evidence of actual ownership. Following termination of smoking pipe production in Akron in 1896, the Mogadore plant of The Akron Smoking Pipe Company produced electrical insulators, and was renamed The Mogadore Insulator Co. in 1920 (Stout 1923:54). In 1927, this firm moved to an Akron site (Mogadore 1957 :13). Following is a brief pre sentation about what is known about the Mogadore factory. Murphy and Reich (1974) reported a sample of pipe wasters recovered from an old dump located several blocks east of The Akron Smoking Pipe Company factory site at the edge of a former mill pond. Pictures of this dump are shown on Plate 16. An 1874 map of Mogadore (Mogadore 1957 :67), reproduced in Figure 4:3, has the location of this dump labeled "A ." This site, official site designation 33-SU-37, produced the styles of pipes illustrated in Plate 17. Additional pipe styles found at the site, but not reported by Murphy and Reich (1974) are illustrated in Plates 15:7-8, and 19:3-8. Murphy and Reich (2E_.cit.: 59) state that these pipes "are believed to be products of the Akron Smoking Pipe Co. or its forerunner, Fenton & Co." Kiln furniture used in pipe production was also found at this site (see Plates 16, 18 and 19:1-2) although the source of the waster material has not yet been positively determined. Murphy and Reich (1972) have also reported the various pipe mold marks noted on pipes from 33-SU-37. A second dump site in the area has been located by area residents (marked "B" in Figure 4:3). This site, designated 33-SU-85, produced pipes similar to those from 33-SU-37. However, one additional pipe style was recovered from this dump site. Although the specimen found at the dump is not available for study, a specimen of this same style was found by a bottle collector in a dump in Memphis, Tennessee (Plate 24:2). Most pipe styles present at 33-SU-37 were also present at 33-SU-85. However, as the frequency of occurrence of the various pipe styles was different at these two dumps, it is assumed that the deposits were not made by the pipe company at the same time. The Akron Smoking Pipe Company's Mogadore plant was located on the site of two former potteries. These potteries are shown on lots 62-65 of the 1874 map of Mogadore; "C" on Figure 4:3 is the location of this s ite, 33-S U-86. In 1883, Curtis Fenton began the manufacture of clay smoking pipes where the two potteries "had stood" (Mogadore 1957:13), suggesting that a new struc ture was erected on the site. This Akron Smoking Pipe Co. factory site is designated 33-SU-86. A pre-1927 photograph of The Akron S moking Pipe Com pany' s Mogadore plant is reproduced from Mogadore (1957:57) in Plate 21:1; the 189

Wilson (1971:12), regarding early clay tobacco pipe manuf�cture, states that: "To my knowledge, the earliest known pipemaker active in this country may have been a Philadelphian named John Warder. In his will dated November 3, 1711, he calls himself a pipemaker, and leaves his tools and implements to his brother Richard ... . (Robert J. Colborn, personal communication). " As noted in the Scharf and Wescott citation, Richard Warder did indeed produce pipes in Philadelphia. The Moravian religious community of Bethlehem was establis hed inl 1741 (Nelson 1978). Apparently, the pottery in Bethlehem was built in 1749 (Foley 1967:66). Gill (1978) related that a small£· 1760-1765 waster dump was excavated at the site of a Bethlehem pottery; Gill also noted that no clay tobacco pipes were found in this waster dump. After the period of this dump, the pottery shop was relocated (Gill 1978). Gottfried Aust, a potter, left Bethlehem on October 2, 1755, and arrived in Bethabara, North Carolina, on November 4, 1755 (Fries 1922 :140, 146). On November 15, 1755, he ·was searching for "flint which he could use in making glazing ;" on November 28, 17 55, Aust ground flint at the mill for glazing, and during the first two weeks of December, 1755, "Br. Augst dug clay and made pottery, for which the people were eager; he also began to make clay pipes." (Fries 1922:148, 149) Within several months of leaving B_ethlehem, Aust had initiated clay tobacco pipe production in Bethabara. Although in Bethlehem less than one year, the rapid establishment of pipe production in Bethabara would seem to imply that pipes were produced in Bethlehem ; definitive evidence has yet to be demonstrated. "Aust was born April 5, 1722, at Heidersdorf in Silesia in the prin cipality of Brieg. He apprenticed under Andr. Dober in Herrnhut in 1743." (Walker 1971:26) "Gottfried Aust. . . had come from Herrnhut \\here he had lived since 1732, and it is reasonable to suppose he brought with him [to Bethabara] the type of pipe favoured there [Herrnhut]. " (Walker 1971:26) There is currently no archaeological evidence of clay tobacco pipe production occurring in Bethlehem although Moravian style pipes have been excavated from other parts of the settlement (Gill 1978). Barber (1901:338) states that: "The Moravians of Bethlehem, Pa., made clay smoking pipes in the last century. 11 It is likely that "last century" in this particular reference (first edition, 1893) refers to the 1700s. Barber (1901:339) goes on to relate that "Mr. Robert Rau, of that place [Bethlehem], is my authority for the statement that plain pipe-bowls, some white and some green, made without stems, were produced by these people probably within the first decade of this century." 194
Pipes produced in Bethlehem remain to be positively identified. Pertaining to Moravian pipe production in Pennsylvania, it is of interest that in 1788, Johann Gottlob Krause of Salem, North Carolina, "was called down for his intention . . . to make pipe he ads , for which he had already ordered forms from Christiansbrunn," (Bivins 1972:59) Pennsylvania (Bivins 1972:69). It is also of interest that in 1806, pipes pro duced in Salem, North Carolina-as well as reed stems-were being sold to a Philadelphia firm (Bivins 1972: 174). Hannas Town was established early in the 1770s and was the county seat of Westmoreland County until Greensburg became the county seat in 1787, after which Hannas Town was rapidly abandoned (Richardson and Wilson 1976: 153-154). Grimm (1976) related that several very crude stub stemmed pipes -apparently formed by hand without benefit of a mould-were recovered in the excavations at Hannas Town. These were presumably of local manufacture. Apparently, in the first decade of the 19th century, there was a clay tobacco pipe factory in operation in the young town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Cuming (1810:222-223) relates that: "An account of the manufactories and tradesmen was taken in the fall of 1807, the result of which was-[a lengthy list of businesses , includ ing] ... one factory for clay smoking pi pes." A Pittsburgh City Directory (Harris 1841:124-126) amends an 1808 listing entitled "The Manufacturing interest of Pittsburgh-1808" in 1809 by noting several additional manufactories and tradesmen not present in the 1808 listing, including "1 Pipe manufactory, by Mr. Price." The first Pittsburgh City Directory (Riddle 1815:68, 83, 142) lists a Queensware Manufactory, but does not list a pipe factory or a Mr. Price. Franklin Ellis (1882:471) lists one "Pipe-maker" who was working in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania in 1816: Joshua Bergen. Barber, writing from Pennsylvania, recorded a number of 19th century Pennsylvania pipemakers (Barber 1901: 339-341): "Long-stemmed pipes seem to have been superseded by bowls about [" the first decade of" the 19tg century] . ., and during the ensuing thirty years or so numerous local potteries throughout Pennsylvania and other sections took up this branch of manufacture. "About the year 1810 Adam Maize, of New Berlin, Union County (then Northumberland), Pa., was making pipe-bowls in the form of a man's head, and prior to 1825, when he quit the business to enter politics, Philip Seebold, who had learned his trade with Maize, made the same style bowl. The manufacture, however, was continued at both potteries until about 1845, when outside competition caused it to cease. "Previous to 1830 Christian Evil and Charles Zorn had potteries in Berlin, Somerset County, Pa., where they made pipe-bowls in the form of a man's head. Jacob Swope owned a pottery one mile north 195

"Samuel Sturgis (1781-1844) was the son of Joseph sturgis (1738-1817). Both father and son operated a pottery in Lititz and made clay pipes. "Unfortunately, as far as is known locally, there are no clay pipes in existence that were made by these men. When a sanitary sewer system was installed in Lititz, I looked for evidence of broken pipes in the trenches that passed the site of the former pottery. I could not find as much as part of a stem. " (Horne 1975). Bivins (1972 :69) relates that in 1 795, a ''young" journeyman potter named Joseph Sturges "'returned today to Pennsylvania, after working some months as a potter. "' sturges' destination in Pennsylvania is unknown. The age of the Bethabara Sturges indicates this was not the sturgis in Lititz. Bivins (1972 :54) relates that in 1771, Peter stotz left Salem, North Carolina, "'to take charge of the pottery at Lititz. 1" Vera Jane Hoffman (197 Sa) and Margaret Fields (1977) have been study ing the historic pottery industry in Somerset and Westmoreland Counties, but have not yet located any historic clay tobacco pipemakers (Hoffman 197 Sb; Fields 1976). Two tobacco pipe fragments were surface collected at a pottery site (36-WM-206) in Ligonier in 1960, and were placed in Fort Ligonier Memo rial Foundation's collections (Figure 4 :4, and Plate 27 :4, 5). Construction activities at this site in 1973 resulted in salvage excavations of the affected area (Fields 1977); no clay pipes were found in the waster materials recovered. Examination of tax records and deeds (Fields 1978) revealed that John Harr and later Huston Cochran had owned "this pottery which operated between 1818 and 1876 (?) in the town of Ligonier. " (Fields 1977) However, an earlier'reference (Ho�kins 1897:29) related that "There was a small pottery in operation for many years at Ligonier , that was started in 1840. The name of the founder could not be ascertained but Mr. John Ware o perated it from 1857, until after the war. Mr. Houston Cochran, now living in Cleveland, Ohio, took possession of the works in 1866, and operated them for a number of years. Just when the pottery was abandoned could not be ascertained. The only ware made was crocks, or as the more modern potter would say, jars. The material used it is said was a blue clay, hauled by wagon from the Denny estate at the old toll gate, about a mile north of Ligonie r. " This author's October 23, 1976, recom1aissance of the site yielded several sherds of stoneware and of redware. Hawks (1975) made arrangements for the author to examine the two pipe fragments in question, describing them as "a redware, leadglazed, human-effigy bowl fragment, and an un glazed redware . . . . "

Yet the famous Powhatan ·Pipe is very low in price, as for many years past, giving the consumer a splendid value, and the jobber and re tailer a profit unheard of in the· tobacco trade.
Fig. 10 Virginia. Three pages of a 1940 catalogue/advertising brochure distributed by the Pamplin Smoking Pipe and Manufacturing Company, Inc. This five-paneled catalogue had ten pages. (80% of actual size.) This is identical to pages 7-9 of the 1941 brochure, where it appeared on the reverse of those pages pictured in Fig. 13.
THESE ARE THE MOST POPULAR STYLES OF PAMPLIN INDIAN PIPES All (except "Powhatan") are available iD both Shaker (Stone) and Hamburg (Clay).
This company is the world's sole producer of genuine Indian pipes. Since 1739 it has preserved this historic industry. Its clay deposit in Appomattox County, Virginia, holds the only clay discovered as ideal for Indian pipes. The trade-mark and name, "Original Powhatan lndian Pipe," is its exclusive property.
Today the Powhatan Pipe is more than a source of peaceful, con tented smoking enjoyment. 1 t is a collector's prize, an authentic Ameri can treasure. In a few years it will be generally unobtainable.
The natives who have been making Powhatan Pipes for centuries are rapidly disappearing. Their children seem unwilling to do the necessary primitive and tedious work. Manual clay pipe-making, probably Amer ica's oldest industry, will soon be only a tradition.
An Authentic American Treasure
A host of that day took great pride in offering his guests tobacco grown on his own plantation, in a Powhatan Indian hand-made Pipe.
Pite smoking was introduced into England by Sir \Valter Raleigh who had seen the Indians smoking. \Vith the start of tobacco cultivation in Virginia, the Powhatan Pipe became generally used in .England and in all of the American colonies.
The original Powhatan Indian hand-made Pipe has the distinction of being the exact reproduction of the red pipe made and smoked by the Red Men in pre-colonial days.
