Dang, I hope it doesn't take that long!

I just keyed in on your signature - I was loaned out by my company to the Arizona Dept of Transportation for 2 years as an senior archaeologist reviewing project reports. Doing mainly Historical Archaeology now as an an on-call PI. I see the N. Greene homestead was occupied 1770s? Our homesteads here are post-1864 - and the majority of those date to 1900 to 1950.

Il Cappello

New in Town
In going through my parent's estate, I have found several vintage pipes. I never knew my father smoked pipes, although I do recall him rolling cigarettes when I was very very young, but he had quit by the time i was 5 I think. And that was 60 years ago. Anyway, I am looking for information on any of them if you guys can help. Like Sergeant Schultz, "I know nothing" about pipes. Well, almost nothing, I've read this thread so I have a start...

Here are the first two, meerschaums. The amber stem belongs with the case, the yellow stem was loose in a box. The tag in the case says "Genuine Meerschaum by Pioneer. Deluxe." and has a drawing of a horse-drawn covered wagon. There are no markings on either pipe.

Top pipe says "John Cotton" and imported briar in script on the other side.
Bottom one is marked "English Pipe Shop", has the number 69 on the other side, and says "Aged Imported Briar" on the bottom.

Top pipe is marked on the bottom: The Everyman London Pipe, Made in London, England.
Bottom pipe is marked with the number 530, has three letter Bs in a diamond shape, above the words Own Make, and then it looks like it is marked "THORNEYCROFT, London, England". But the Croft part is difficult to read.
