Thanks for the Heads up!

It had been a while since I checked out her site. I had thought that she was working on some styles in Red Clay..... Or that Foxe was talking to her about doing some.

Mad Dogge should buy his pipes in bulk.

"The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning."

- Capt. Joshua Slocum

:ph34r::ph34r: Seriously though, now with our tavern and Silkie's ordinary bulk would be good... charge a small fee to cover cost and a bit to everyone that wants to "rent" a pipe and they actually get to keep it...

With exceptions, wearing it on your hat is more a reenactorism I think. Short stems were a norm----a result of having them in a pocket.

There was a fine maker of hand rolled clay pipes along the coast up on the Maritimes of Nova Scotia called Olde World Clay Pipes. I don't know if he's still in business, but his selection was phenomenal, and he was very knowledgeable.

I'm including a dated article from him with contact information at the bottom of the page. I hope he's still in business and the article proves useful. http://computeme.tripod.com/claypipe.html

I'll not be knowing if olde world clay is still in business least last I was on his site it seemed not to be. His articles are priceless for information though. The short and long of it as to wering the pipe in your hat is least this potter has not come across refernce to it historically. Most were made to fit in pockets or ditty bags. the long stemmed pipes seem recerverd for home or pub use.

jus me twa pence.

Ye ship's potter,

Well...now thar be the 'historical documentation' Quartermaster James be seek'n fer! 'n it be dated 'n time stamped for authenticity t' boot!!

But I have a question:

If something seems practical but it is not found in any current historical scripture, then does that mean it never existed or was never practiced?

I mean for an example, an article I read just recently (started here actually, a conversation about 'market wallets') said that there does not seem to be any actual 'description' of what is referred to as a "lady's bag". It seem'd t' be marked as 'since they were so common then presumably nobody figured it was worth describing' which today leaves us to our own accord when attempting to 're-create'.

Now in the case o' the pipes, I have read some extensive articles on how cherished one's pipe was 'n how through the ages they became down right 'status symbols' among rich 'n poor alike, so just because nobody wrote about Mr. Thomas who walked into the tavern each night with his favorite pipe stick'n out'a he's hat....does that mean that Mr. Thomas never existed??

:lol:

hmm, guess like 'ol Blackbeard, Mr. Thomas shoulda killed someone now and then....

~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!

So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!

Nae lad,

jus because it is not written for all the world to see does not mean it never , ever happened. Just means that in what has been read thus far have not found any refernce to it.

Proof of exsitence is not exsitence of proof.

Another two pence,
