Look to see if there are any makers marks or other identifiers besides the date.I have a pipe and would like to find out a bit more information about it. It is hand carved and dated 1809.View attachment 49248
The date is carved. Inside the top (excuse my ignorance) there is a mark of a crown a dolphin & a barley stalkIs the date carved or stamped? Or is there another source for the "date"?
Wow! If possible, for us into seeing more “centerfold” pictures.... please add a few other images.... especially the front face of the bowl, perhaps inside the bowl itself... and a view with the stem attached if possible.
The one image shows an awfully damn interesting looking, 211 year old pipe.... and I would enjoy seeing more of it. ?

Close ups of the marks would be helpful.
